Hard one this and impossible to generalise.

The kids may be playing; out for a bit of fun by giving the tourist a hard time; desperate; organised beggars etc etc.

Best to play it by ear.

Many times when I have had the "kana, kana" request and offered food, the response was irritation. Other times, the food was wolfed down.

Vexing issue.
