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?

Take the chicken over, go back for the dog, bring the dog over, carry the chicken back, leave the chicken, carry the feed over, go back for the chicken, bring the chicken back :)

Take the chicken over first, then when taking the feed over have the dog swim across with him. Seeing the chicken already on the other side would give him incentive. -Spiz
