Idiom of the day :- Meet someone halfway

Usage, examples and definition of the Idiom :-

When Chief Totem got news that explorers had set sail for his continent, he decided to meet them halfway. Hopping into his boat, he soon found them somewhere in the middle of the ocean. ‘I’d be ever so happy to show you the way to my lands if you will show me the way to yours,’ he smiled. There is no record of what the explorers replied, but it is well-known that to meet someone halfway is to cooperate with someone by agreeing to make compromises.
