To actually hear each other, you have to be at the same level to have full contact, as they call it in the Oriental martial arts. Of course, not in the combat but peaceful meaning of the word. This problem pertains not only to kings and their subjects. Ordinary fans can face it as well. Then the difference of levels, as well as of heights, can be easily solved with the help of a border (see photo 3). If you also stand on your tiptoes, this lets you have a good look into your lover’s eyes. Speaking about the people-animal relations, this dog, having once being placed on a pedestal, does not want to descend again to see its master from the level of his boots (see photo 1).
Here is another picture from the people and machines world. The young man had to literally bow before the public telephone, as before a noble grandee, since it is placed not very high, to put it mildly (see photo 2). But one eagerly goes to all lengths to have a chance to finally say, “Contact established!” The more so that this movement towards each other is now favored by Lady Spring in person.
