1. Fill the 5 gallon bucket using the 3 gallon bucket. Now there is 3 gallon
of water in the 5 gallon bucket. And you can add 2 more gallon of water to
fulfil it.
2. Once again fill the 5 gallon bucket using the 3 gallon bucket. Now you
have exactlt 1 gallon of water left in your 3 gallon bucket. (it's only take
2 gallon of water to fulfil the 5 gallon bucket.
3. Empty the 5 gallon bucket. Then put your 1 gallon of water into it (it
was in the 3 gallon bucket).
4. Add exactly 3 more gallon of water (of course using the 3 gallon bucket).
5. Now you have exactly 4 gallon of water.
