two monks

theres an old story about two monks walking along a path when they came to a huge pool of water

on the other side of the pool they saw a young women in a beautiful dress on her way to her wedding. she was wondering how to get across the water without ruining her dress when one of the monks waded through the water picked her up and carried her

she thanked him and they went on her way. the other monk was furious but said nothing until they reached the monastry much later

he said
"why did you carry that women you know we're not even supposed to look at women let alone touch one"

the other replied
"brother i set her down by the side of the river why do you still carry her"
