There once was a farmer who, as part of his route to town, used a rickety old boat to cross a wide river. He took his dog and went to town one day to buy corn. However, not only did he buy some corn, but he also bought a goose that he intended to take home and use to start raising geese. (The farmer was no fool; he already had another goose.) He also knew, however, that his boat was not reliable. It could only handle himself (to row) and one of the other three things he had with him. He feared that if left alone, the dog would eat the corn. How could he get himself and everything else across the river?

I am pretty sure the only way to do this is:
• To bring the corn first
• To bring the goose second
• To bring the dog third
Hope this helped!
The farmer can safely transport himself, the dog, the corn, and the goose across the river using a step-by-step process. ;
The farmer can transport everything across the river by following a step-by-step process that ensures nothing is left alone. He takes the goose first, returns for the dog, and repeats until all items are safely across. This method prevents the dog from eating the corn or leaving the goose unattended.
