Letting go of things in life

Well, this is a usual Buddhist story which I am sure many of us have heard before.

monks

There used to be 2 monks, one old and the other young. One they day they saw a lady when they came upon a river.

The lady would like to cross the river but preferred not to wet her clothing.

The old monk then offered to carry the lady across by piggybacking the lady. The 2 monks then continued on their journey but something was bugging the young monk.

He thought, Men were not supposed to touch women, much less a monk.

The young monk finally found the courage to ask the old monk.

The old monk roared in laughter and said, "I've long off-loaded the lady. Why haven't you?"
