The Fox, The Goose, and The Bag of Beans

Once upon a time a farmer went to a market and purchased a fox, a goose, and a bag of beans. On his way home, the farmer came to the bank of a river and rented a boat. But in crossing the river by boat, the farmer could carry only himself and a single one of his purchases – the fox, the goose, or the bag of beans.

If left together, the fox would eat the goose, or the goose would eat the beans.

The farmer’s challenge was to carry himself and his purchases to the far bank of the river, leaving each purchase intact. How did he do it? (Wiki)

Try acting them out with toys, it makes it easier to visualize – and you don’t need to be strict about the characters, we used Pokemon to represent the Farmer and the gang.
