19)A young monk goes fishing with two other much older and experienced monks.
While out in the boat one of the older monks realizes he has forgotten his
favorite hook, gets out of the boat, walks across the water, and returns
shortly with his hook. The young monk is stunned at this sight. A short while
later the other monk needs to recover a fishing cork he has dropped into the
lake. He gets out of the boat, walks across the water about 15 feet, picks up
the cork, and returns to the boat. The young monk is wide eyed at this miracle,
knowing full well that what he thought impossible can be done. Time passes and
the young monk makes up an excuse to go ashore so he steps out of the boat,
sinks over his head in the very cold water, and comes bobbing and sputtering to
the surface. While tredding water and feeling quite humiliated he asks the two
old monks, "How did you do that? The walking on the water."
Answer:
The second monk replied, "it is easy if you know where the rocks
are."
