Two Monks were walking meditatively in a forest in India. When they reached a puddle of water they noticed a young woman struggling to cross that water.

One monk carried her across the water to the other side. Then both monks rached the monestry in the afternoon. The elder monk said, "Brother it's against our rule to touch a female and I am still thinking what you did over there.

The reply from the younger monk was, "Having carried the female, I left her at the bank and forgot her, but you are sill carrying her!"
