You probably know the one about the
two monks, but I’ll tell
it anyway. They were
walking along one day when they came
to a stream where a young lady was
waiting, hoping that
someone would help her across.
Without hesitating,
one of the monks picked her up
and carried her across,
putting her down safely on the
other side.
The two monks continued
walking along, and
after some time the second one,
unable to restrain
himself, said to the
first, “You know we’re
not allowed to touch women;
why did you carry that woman
across the stream?”
The first monk replied:
“Put her down.
I did two hours ago.”
