A hen, a dog, and a cat are stolen. Three suspects are arrested named Robin, Steve, and Tim. The police are sure that all of them stole one of the animals but they don't know who stole which animal.

Sherlock Holmes is appointed to identify and is provided with the following statements from the investigation.

Robin - Tim stole the hen
Steve - Tim stole the dog
Tim - Both Robin and Steve are lying. I neither stole a hen nor a dog.

Sherlock is somehow able to deduce that the man who stole the cat is telling a lie and the man who stole the hen is telling truth.

Can you help him find out who stole which animal?

He needs to cross a river that can carry a maximum of two i.e. Man + one of Tiger goat or grass. But the problem is "If he takes the lion with him, the goat will eat grass and if he takes grass with him, the lion will eat the goat".

How can he ensure the safe delivery of all three?
