Still Carrying Her

Two monks once made a promise: "We shall never touch a woman." From that day on, they avoided all

contact with women. Even when beautiful women approached them, they simply walked

away. Mm-hmm. Years passed, promise unbroken, until one day,

they saw a stunning woman struggling to cross a river. Oh! Without a word,

the older monk stepped forward, lifted her gently- Ah! ...

carried her through the river, and set her down safely. He smiled and said,

"Please, have a safe journey." Then continued walking like nothing happened. But the younger

monk was stunned. He stayed quiet, but inside, he was boiling with anger.
