your riddle doesn't work... the boy is there without the fater.. but i think it can be done so ill figure it out for you
I think it works. The boy is on the other side with the maid and the dog so he's okay. good teaser
The puzzle works. The boy can be alone just not with Mom and without Dad. If the boy is with Mom they will fight unless Dad is there, but the boy can be alone on one side of the river.
cool!
