CTLaw – the moshel is excellent but with a minor revision that I added, which alters the outcome:
“Mama, can Avremi and Yossi stay for dinner – their family has no food and they haven’t eaten anything in three days?”
“You know I only made enough for the family – we need our daily three meals full of nutrition to maintain our good health (chayecha kodmim)”
Tateh to Mama: “Put a little more water in the soup – lo sa’amod al damm reyecha”
