What does High-low really mean?

Alright, so "high-low" is a term that can have a couple of different meanings, but they all revolve around the contrast between something that is high and something that is low. It can refer to something being tall or elevated compared to something that is short or close to the ground. For example, when we play hide and seek, we might say "high-low" to let someone know if they are getting closer or farther away from the person who is hiding.

Another way to think about "high-low" is in terms of emotions. When we say someone is experiencing highs and lows, we mean that they are going through periods of extreme happiness or excitement, followed by periods of sadness or disappointment. It's kind of like a rollercoaster, with the highs being the peaks and the lows being the valleys.

Does that make sense? It's kind of like when you're playing a game and you have to find something hidden--you want to get closer to the prize (the high) and avoid going in the wrong direction (the low). And when we talk about emotions, it's like feeling really happy one moment and then feeling down the next. So "high-low" is all about the difference between something being up high and something being down low, whether it's physically or emotionally. Cool, right?
