Two monks were casually walking through the woods,
chatting. As they approached a river
they saw a scantily clad woman trying to cross it. The older monk decided he would go over and
help her. The younger one warned against going to her.
Nevertheless the older monk picked the woman up despite the
urgings of his younger comrade and carried her across.
Some time later the younger monk complained, “You should not
have picked that lady up.”
Retorted the elder, “I put her down a long time ago.”
Moral? Put down what you have been carrying. It is way to
heavy to continually bear. Then move on.
