Step 1:
Fill the 3 gallon bucket, and then pour the contents into the 5 gallon bucket
Step 2:
Fill the 3 gallon bucket again, and pour its contents into the 5 gallon bucket until it is full.
Step 3:
Empty the 5 gallon bucket, and move the remaining 1 gallon of water from the 3 gallon bucket to the 5 gallon bucket
Step 4:
The same as Step 1, but this time you will end up with 4 gallons of water in the 5 gallon bucket rather than 3
