“A secret is something you tell one person at a time”

Simplified Meaning:

When you share a secret with someone, it stops being completely private. Imagine you tell a friend something you don't want many people to know. Even if you ask them to keep it quiet, they might tell just one more person, thinking it won't spread. But then that person does the same, and soon many people know. This shows that each time a secret is told to another person, it increases the chance of more people finding out. For example, if you have a surprise party planned for a friend, and you tell one person, who then tells another person, soon the surprise can be ruined because too many people might know about it. To keep something truly private, it's best not to share it at all. If you must share, choose very wisely and understand that even one person can accidentally make it known to others. This way, you can protect your privacy and ensure things stay confidential.
