The Pretty Lady & Two monks

The Pretty Lady & Two monks

Once upon a time an old monk and a little monk were
travelling together.They came to the bank of a river and found
the bridge was damaged. They had to wade across the river.There they found a pretty lady stuck at the damaged bridge who couldn't cross the river on her own. The old monk offered to carry the pretty lady across the river on his back. The lady accepted. The young monk was shocked by the move of the old monk. "How can big disciple brother carry a lady when we are supposed to avoid all intimacy with females?" thought the little monk. But he kept quiet.



The old monk carried the lady across the river and
the little monk followed unhappily. When they had crossed the river,
the old monk let the lady down and they parted ways with her.All along
the way for several miles, the little monk was very unhappy with the act of
the old monk. He was making up all kinds of accusations about the old monk in his head. This got him madder and madder. But he still
kept quiet. And the old monk had no inclination to explain his
situation. Finally, at a rest point many hours later, the little monk could not stand it any further, he burst out angrily at the old monk.



"How can you claim yourself a devout monk, when you
seize the first opportunity to touch a female, especially when she is
very pretty? All your teachings to me make you a big hypocrite."



The old monk looked surprised and said, "I had put
down the pretty lady at the river bank many hours ago, how come you
are still carrying her along?"
