Strip by: Conor

{Rat and Pig stand at a brick wall.
Rat: Hey... listen to this riddle I just read.
Pig: Oh, goodie... I'm great at riddles.
Rat: A man has a fox, a chicken, and some corn. He has to take them all across a river. He can only take one of the items at a time in his boat.
Rat: However, if he leaves the fox alone with the chicken, the fox will eat the chicken. If he leaves the chicken alone with the corn, the chicken will eat the corn.
Rat: What should he do?
Pig: Eat the chicken himself.
{Rat looks frustrated.}
Pig: It's not that hard if you think about it.

Comments: Larry the Croc must've told Pig this riddle first...
