The problem is that your boat can only fit 1 item at a time, and they have to be transported in the boat. You also can't leave the sheep and the cabbage alone on the island because the sheep will eat it. You can't leave the tiger and the sheep on the island together either as the tiger will eat the sheep. How do you get them all over to the island?

1) Take the sheep to the island.
2) Come back empty.
3) Take the cabbage over to the island.
4) Come back with the sheep in the boat.
5) Leave the sheep on the first island and take the tiger to the second island.
6) Come back empty.
7) Take the sheep to the island (again)
