On the first day, he welcomes him graciously, until he feeds him a bean.

הגדרה (אנגלית)

A guest can overstay his welcome if he stays for too long.

("On the eighth day, what is seen to lessen every day? The Torah teaches you the way from the sacrifices: if one goes to an inn and his friend receives him, on the first day they receive him graciously and feed him birds; on the second, they feed him meat; on the third, they feed him fish; on the fourth, they feed him vegetables; thus it lessens and continues until they feed him a bean." – Bamidbar Rabbah (Vilna), Parashat Pinchas, section 21)
