　　Two monks on a pilgrimage came to the ford of a river. There they saw a
girl dressed in all her finery, obviously not knowing what to do since the river
was high and she did not want to spoil her clothes. Without more ado, one of the
monks took her on his back, carried her across and put her down on dry ground on
the other side.
        　　Then the monks continued on their way. But the other monk after an hour
started complaining, "Surely it is not right to touch a woman; it is against the
commandments to have close contact with women. How could you go against the
rules of monks?"
        　　The monk who had carried the girl walked along silently, but finally he
remarked, "I set her down by the river an hour ago, why are you still carrying
her?"
        　　Read the article and answer the following questions:

        　　A. The monk who had carried the girl
        　　B. The monk who did not carried the girl
