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 unattended 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?

Ah, this is a classic.
He brings the goose across, then goes back for the beans. He takes the goose back, leaving the beans alone, then drops it off to get the fox. He drops off the fox and goes back for the goose. (Whoops! Edited cuz I started off wrong first time.)
I’ll never understand why he didn’t just find a bigger boat.

You bury me when I’m alive, and dig me up when I die. What am I?
I’m guessing a plant.

Soldiers line up spaced with pride,
Two long rows lined side by side.
One sole unit can decide,
If the rows will unite or divide.
Tell me, tell me, scream it out.
What’s the thing I talk about?
That’s a tough one!
All I can come up with is a zip lock bag.
The ones without the zip thingy never line up for me.
OMG girl you are so close and even have part of the name in your description…
