The 2 boys go across the river, and one gets out. The other returns to the man. The man then crosses the river. The boy on the other side gets back in the boat and picks up the the other boy. Both boys then go join the man safely on the other side. i think you make some good or find some good jokes or riddles. i havent heard good jokes in a long time.keep them coming

OK both boys go across, one comes back with the canoe, then the man goes and the other boy goes back, then both boys cross together again. Is that right?

Send the 2 boys over. drop one off. One boy goes back across the river to get the man. Drop the boy off. Man goes alone across the river. Drop man off. 1st boy gets in alone, goes acros river, picks up other boy. TWO boys then safely cross river.

The two boys go across. One of them get out. The other one goes back. He gets out and the man gets in. He goes across. Then the man gets out and the other boy gets in and goes across. Then the boy that was left gets in and now they both go across together

The two boys take it across. Then one paddles back and gets off. The man takes it over to the other side. Then the second boy gets in and paddles back also. He picks up the first boy and brings him back to the second side. They all get ove safely.

Are they on the same side? One rides the canoe to one side while the other man afterwards takes his turn to his side?
Eh?
