That is the way in my house. Whenever someone stop for assistance, I make sure they are taken care of. Most of the time they are either lost or broken down.
And if someone comes in at or near meal time, they are offered food and drink, and if we don't have enough out we just make more. Whether they accept or not, that is up to them.
That is the way I was raised and that is the way I will be.

It is illegal to give someone food in which has been found a dead mouse or weasel.
And what of a live mouse?

"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."
-Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture)
Makes you wonder why that one was written in the first place. I mean a mouse is understandable, but a weasel? You'd think that would be pretty obvious. And what if a rat or squirrel had been found in it? That's ok? How about spiders?

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner
If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress?
It all sounds so appetizing---dead and live rodents in their food.

I always offer food and drink when someone comes to my house. If it's a stranger, you better be sure and offer him or her something if your not afraid to let them in. There's a verse in the Bible that says, "we entertain angels unaware."

Cows, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, hens, geese ? noisy goods! Little bees that stick to all flowers. These are the ten beasts of all the world?s men. (The Chieftain who is keeper of the free public hostel must have one hundred of all of these.)

The hostel-keeper must own a cauldron large enough to boil a pig and a cow at the same time. Before taking the meat out of the boiling cauldron the attendant must warn, `Stand back-here goes the fleshfork into the cauldron!?

The feller of trees must warn all within shouting distance before he takes the first blow. All beasts, blind persons and people dozing must be removed from the area.
