Today's Daily Brain Teaser (Mar 01, 2015)

Guarded Queen

Covered with a sweet fragrance,

Guarded by five guardsmen,

Two of them clean-shaven,

And the last one half-shaven.

Brain Teaser 3/1/2015

Yet, if you leave the fox alone with the chicken he will devour it. And should you leave the chicken alone with the grain you would inevitably have to take both at once since the one would be inside the other. How can they all be taken safely across without any unwanted lunch stops during the process?
