A riddle!
I have a LION, a GOAT and a load of GREEN GRASS.
I am at the bank of a wide and deep river, with a Lion, a Goat and load of green grass. The three lots are hungry, but cannot take the food in my presence. In fact, its only my presence which prevents the lion from eating the goat, and the goat from eating the green grass. Left alone together, the goat will be eaten by the lion, and, if the goat is left with the grass, the grass will be eaten by the goat. Hence, I have a problem. A big problem!
Now, I want to take all three to the other side of the river. Unfortunately, the only available boat at the river is one which is too small to accommodate more than one item/animal plus myself, at one time.
How can I mange to take all three to the other side of the river, safely, without risking leaving the lion with the goat alone behind, or the goat with the grass alone, behind? Advise, please!
