Once upon a time
 
a farmer went to the 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 alone,

the fox would eat the goose, and 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?
Comment what you think the answer is(:

They all ate each other so he just brought the fox with all the other things being digested inside the fox? Wow, this sounds morbid but I have no idea.
