Riddle:

You have a fox, a chicken and a sack of grain. You must cross a river with only one of them at a time. If you leave the fox with the chicken he will eat it; if you leave the chicken with the grain he will eat it. How can you get all three across safely?

Actual answer

Take the chicken over first. 

Go back and bring the grain next, but instead of leaving the chicken with the grain, come back with the chicken. 

Leave the chicken on the first side and take the fox with you.

 Leave it on the other side with the grain. 

Finally, go back over and get the chicken and bring it over.

My answer

so you have to row the animal or item to the other side. Which means both u and something else can fit in there.

So you put the grain on your lap and put the fox on the other side of the boat.

 Once u get to the other side, u leave the grain and the fox alone since they won't eat each other.

 Then u go back and get the chicken and bring it to the other side with where the fox and the grain is.
