one more filling water problem..

You have 8 liter jug, 5 liter jug, 3 liter jug. 8 liter jug have full of water.

Your goal is finally the 8 liter and 5 liter jug contains 4 liter water and 3 liter jug contains no water. You have only 8 liter water and you are not getting more water from any other resources.

How can you fill the water?
