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.”
