end life , kills laughter.
what am i?

the first guy was right on the dime. for the first one , the second riddle is : teeth the third is : time

Answer 1

Let's say that his origin is Side A and his destination is Side B.

1) Take the chicken to side B
2) Come back to side A
3) Take the wheat to side B
4) Come back to side A with the chicken
5) Take the fox to side B
6) Come back to side A
7) Take the chicken again to side B

All his items are now safe and sound, and across the river.

The second one is teeth. I couldn't have guessed this on my own because it is so abstract. I remember it from someone telling me. The red hill is gums and the horses are the teeth. The dancing is the chewing.

Third is Age? Or Time?
