Hello friends
I hope you are doing good in life.

I have seen many crossing- river riddle in internet.Today I want to share one of them. Even once I downloaded an android application. I solved a few of them. 

In the riddle there are **a river**, **a boat** and **a man** with three belongings.**A tiger**, **a goat** and **piperaceae** piperaceae is a kind of leaf wich a goat likes to eat very much.In india people also love it to eat. As you can see in the picture.

**Conditions:**

**Read carefully please:**

The boat has no owner. The boat can contain only an item among the belongings of the man I mentioned above. So in the boat **the man** and **an item** of him can cross the river at the same time.

The riddle is as below:

            HOW DOES THE MAN CROSS THE RIVER WITH ALL HIS BELONGINGS?

For Helping you out, let me analyse the situation a little bit:

✅ If the man takes an item of him and starts crossing the river, the other two items will be left in bank of the river alone.

✅ Suppose he takes the tiger with him and crosses the river. In this case the goat will eat up the leaf piperaceae.

✅ If he chooses the piperaceae , then  the tiger will eat up the goat at the bank.

✅ So only choice remains to take the goat to the opposite side of the river. Then the man comes back and takes another item... And then he has to do the same again...

So now you got ideas how the riddle is. Now before heading towards the solution, give it a try yourself. Don't be a cheater..lol..It is very interesting believe me. All the best.

**It's time for solving the riddle:**

I know many of you have seen the riddle before but who haven't faced it yet, can find it difficulty to solve. But the Village-man in the riddle some how succeeded to cross the river with all his belongings intact. Question is how??

Ofcourse he chooses two of the items/animals to leave and cross the river with one of them. It is clearly understood if he takes the **goat** with him and cross the river, remaining two items leaves and tiger will be intact because they don't eat up each other. 

Leaving the goat to the opposite side of the river , the man comes back. Now he piks up  any of the remaining two. Let's he takes the tiger with him this time. He again crosses the river. He can't return keeping the goat and the tiger in the opposite side of the river. 

If he takes the leaves and crosses the river , in this case he can't leave the goat and the leaves to take the tiger 🐅...lol the situation is what was in the begining.

So let me spill the bean right now. No more round about way of talking.

**Read Carefully**

After leaving the goat in the opposite side at first stage, he comes back and takes the tiger. Now on the other bank now he is with the tiger and the goat. The leaves are alone at begining side. When he returns to take the leaves he travels back with goat 🐐. He leaves the goat there and picks up the the leaves and again crosses the river. Now at one side the tiger and the leaves are intact. After that he returns empty hand to take the goat again. Finally all the belonging s are together at the opposite side... job is done...lol

You may be confused or my way of writing can confused you but I wanna give you a single point that will definately help you to solve.**You have to return with an item you have already sifted to the other side of the river once** Check the pictures also as attached below:
