Two Boys Cross a River Puzzle

The Puzzle:

Two boys wish to cross a river. The only way to get to the other side is by boat, but that boat can only take one boy at a time. The boat cannot return on its own, there are no ropes or similar tricks, yet both boys manage to cross using the boat.

How?

Our Solution:

The boys start on opposite sides of the river.
