gets sheep first across river
go back for wolf, crosses him over
pick up sheep and leaves wolf alone
go back with sheep to pick up seeds but leaves sheep
leaves seeds on the other side with wolf and go back to get sheep.. and crosses with sheep where wolf and seeds are
Then he has all three on same side.

The wolf and sheep are not 'items'. They are animals, but the stalk of corn is an item, so there you go... Syke naw. But hey... bring the wolf across and then bring the corn across too because the wolf could eat the corn. As the wolf eats the corn, bring over the sheep. Shoo the shep away or whatever so the wolf doesn't spot him... that's all I can think of.

Take several trips.
1st trip- Take over the sheep so the wolf does not eat it.
2nd- Take the Wolf so the corn can still grow more.
3rd- Keep the stalk of corn in a bucket with the roots and all attatched so it stays living.
That is what I could think of. They are all still living in the end. and are all at the market.

He takes the wolf and himself over, leaving the wolf on the other side, then comes back and gets the corn, leaving the sheep and wolf alone on opposite sides. He then drops the corn off with the wolf, and goes back to get the sheep. When he gets back with the sheep, he's now got everything with him on the right side.

The sheep is the only live item so all he has to do is let the sheep eat the produce and take the animal over.

bring the sheep across paddle back and get the wolf and bring him across. bring the sheep back across and get the stalk of corn. go across with the stalk of corn and drop it off. go back across the river and get the sheep and bring it across. now all three are across the river.
