A farmer trying to cross the river

A farmer is trying to cross a river. He is taking with him a rabbit, carrots and a fox, and he has a small raft. He can only bring 1 item a time across the river because his raft can only carry either the rabbit, the carrots or the fox. How does he cross the river. (You can assume that the fox does not eat the rabbit if the man is present, you can assume the rabbit doesn't eat the carrots if the mand is present and you can also assume that the fox and the rabbit are not trying to escape and run away) How does he get all 3 across the river without something being eaten when he is not present.

Take the rabbit first Then the carrots,but bring the rabbit back. Then take the fox. Finally return for the rabbit.

On the first trip the farmer carries the rabbit across
Then he comes back and carries the carrots across and picks up the rabbit and brings it back across and
then he leaves the rabbit and carries the fox across and then goes back and gets the rabbit and now he has all three on the same side.
Respect the land as well as the game you hunt.

Yeah, JV, I think Redarrow types just a little faster.

Good job to both of you.
