    The wolf does not eat cabbage, so the crossing can start with the goat.

    The man leaves the goat and returns, puts the cabbage in the boat and

    takes it across. On the other bank, he leaves the cabbage but takes the

    goat. He leaves the goat on the first bank and takes the wolf across. He leaves the cabbage with the wolf and rows back alone. He takes the goat across.
