Empty the 3 gallon can
Pour the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon can into the 3 gallon can.
Fill the 5 gallon can
Pour water from the 5 gallon can into the 3 gallon can until it is full....that will take a further gallon.
You now have 4 gallons left in the 5 gallon can.
Empty 1 of the 5 gallons.
(But how do you know when you have emptied 1 gal???)
You fill the 3 gal can and then tip it into the 5 gal can.
The fill the 3 gal can again and tip some into the 5 gal can until the 5 gal can is full, you should now have 1 gal in the 3 gal can.
Now empty the 5 gal can and put the 1 gal (from the 3 gal can) into the 5 gal can. Fill the 3 gal can again and add that to the 1 gal that is in the 5 gal can. You now have 4 gals in the 5 gal can!
