A farmer is traveling with a chicken, a fox and a bag of grain and comes across a river. There is a small boat used for crossing - so small there is only room for the farmer and one other item. The farmer can't leave the fox and chicken alone, for the fox will eat the chicken. He can't leave the chicken and grain alone, for the chicken will eat the grain. How can he get everyone across intact?

Take the fox across the river. Return with the chicken.
Take the grain across the river. Return empty.
