To solve this puzzle, the man must follow these steps to transport his belongings across the river without any of them being harmed or eaten:
The man takes the meat-eating goat across the river first, leaving the vegan wolf and the cabbage on the initial shore.
He then returns alone to the initial shore.
Next, the man takes the cabbage across the river. Upon arriving on the other shore, he leaves the cabbage but takes the goat back with him to the initial shore.
The man then takes the vegan wolf across the river, leaving it with the cabbage on the other shore.
He returns alone to the initial shore.
Finally, the man takes the meat-eating goat across the river one last time.
Now, all his belongings are safely on the other shore: the cabbage, the vegan wolf, and the meat-eating goat.
