Goat, cabbage and wolf
A man once had to travel with a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage. He had to take good care of them since the wolf would like to taste a. piece of goat if he got the chance, while the goat appeared too long for a tasty cabbage. After some traveling, he suddenly stood before a river. This river could only be crossed using the small boat lying nearby ashore. The boat was only good enough to take himself and one of his loads across the river. The other two subjects/objects he had to leave on their own. How must the man row across the river back and forth to safely take himself and his luggage to the other side of the river without having one eat another? How many boat trips are needed?
