Monks and girl

Two Zen monks crossed the river. They met a young and very beautiful girl who also wanted to cross the river, but was afraid. Therefore, one of the monks carried her to the other side on his shoulders.

The other monk got angry. He said nothing, but inside he was boiling. It was forbidden! A Buddhist monk should not touch a woman, and this one not only touched, but carried her on his shoulders.

They walked several miles. At the entrance to the monastery, at the gate, an angry monk turned to the first and said: “Listen, I have to tell the master about this, I will report to him. It is forbidden!"

The first monk asked: “What are you talking about? What is forbidden? "

“Have you forgotten? Said the second. "You carried that beautiful girl on your shoulders!"

The first monk laughed and replied, “Yes, I carried her. But I left it by the river, a few miles away. And you still carry her "
