    had a fox for a goose and a sheaf of oats, he could bring only one over the river at a time, he could n't leave the fox and the goose together, or the goose and the sheaf of oats, and how did he get them over.
    Answer= He brought over the goose first and went over again and brought over the sheaf of oats to the other side of the river, he returned with the goose again and brought over the fox and returned over for the goose, and he had them all saved.
