Uncle Jimmy needed to take his pet wolf, chicken, and a sack of corn across a river in a boat. However he may only take one item across at a time. the problem is, if he leaves the wolf with the chicken, the wolf will eat the chicken, and if he leaves the chicken with the corn the chicken will eat the corn. He knows he is going to have to make several trips. how can he get all three items safely acroass the river?

Farmer takes the chicken across the river in a gunny sack(or cage). Hangs high in a tree at the edge of a limb. Returns to the other side for the corn. Drops off the corn. Goes back again for the wolf, whom he muzzles, so it won't take a bite out of him and goes to fetch his chicken and corn.

If the man has a pet wolf and he's only worried about whether it eats the chicken, he's about as dumb as a sack of corn.
(I hit 666 points, had to fix it. *shudder*)
