Is Each the name of the man that took a pear? Therefore only one pear was taken?

they never said how many pears were hanging LOW, so i suppose there were 23 pears, and 11 men took low pears and the tallest guy just took a high one so there is 11 left

because eleven took low hanging pears and one took high hanging pear so there was eleven high hanging pears left.
