Take the goat over first
Return for the lion
Take lion over and return with the goat
Leave the goat and take the cabbage
(This gives lion and cabbage on far side, goat on this side)
Rteurn empty
Take the goat over last
But then.......as they all sit around and clap each other on the back (Or on a leaf in the case of the cabbage)......a team of cannibals descend from the trees and eats them all. Except the cabbage. And the boat.
Moral is: Cabbages live longer.

The man should take the goat, then he goes to get the cabbage. He takes the goat back, gets the lion, and takes it across, then he gets the goat.

he takes the goat first,
and then he takes the lion,
but he takes the goat back with him,
leave the goat where the cabbage was,
and takes the cabbage with him to the lion's side,
then he goes back to take the goat.
p.s. it can't be because the lion would eat him in the first place. hehehe.

Kill the lion and goat and utilize a taxidermist
put them and the cabbage on ice.
Cross the river.

On the first trip take goat across (lion won't eat cabbage)
On the second trip take cabbage across & bring goat back.
On the third trip across, take lion (he still won't eat cabbage)
On the fourth trip across, you can safely take the goat back over for a second time.

Picks up the lion and drops at the other end.
Bring the goat back to the side it was orginally on.
Pick up the cabbage take it to the side where the lion is.
go back to the otherside pick up the goat and take it to the other side.
and there you have it all three is save on the one side.
