Riddle me this...........

A very poor man leaves the market and heads home to his family all excited because he made so much money. Before he left for home, he bought a chicken, a bag of chicken feed, and a dog. While on his way home, he came to the river. It had swelled up pretty high and the current had picked up as well. He has to cross it to get home.There are no bridges or ferry's. He knows he can only take on item across at a time. So, knowing, if left alone, the chicken will eat the feed,and the dog will eat the chicken, in what order did he get all three Items across?

Ok this could be one of two answers 1 he waits for the river to subside and walks across with all three ( bag of feed on head, chicken under his arm and dog at his side) Or being that he is now rich he could pay someone to help him across the river. Or another thought would be to take the row boat he came across in the first time.

That's a good one, and Ramblin' got the answer that I have heard. Here's another one: There was a girl in our town, Silk an' satin was her gown, Silk an' satin, gold an' velvet, Guess her name, three times I've telled it.
