History
Excerpt from The Catching of Unshelled Fish Olive Green (Myrtle Reed) 4 But, as Grover Cleveland said: "He is no true fisherman who is willing to fish only when fish are biting." The real angler will sit all day in a boat in a pouring rain, eagerly watching the point of the rod, which never for an instant swerves a half inch from the horizontal. The real angler will troll for miles with a hand line and a spinner, winding in the thirty-five dripping feet of the lure every ten minutes, to remove a weed, or "to see if she's still a-spinnin'." Vainly he hopes for the muskellunge who has just gone somewhere else, but, by the same token, the sure-enough angler is ready to go out next morning, rain or shine, at sunrise. 5 It is a habit of Unshelled Fish to be in other places, or, possibly, at your place, but at another time. The guide can never understand what is wrong. Five days ago, he himself caught more bass than he could carry home, at that identical rocky point. A man from La Porte, Indiana, whom he took out the week before, landed a thirty-eight pound "muskie" in trolling through that same narrow channel. In the forty years that the guide has lived in the place, man and boy, he has never known the fishing to be as poor as it is now. Why, even "ol' Pop Somers" has ceased to fish! 6 But the real angler continues, regardless of the local sage. He who has heard the line sing suddenly out of his reel, and, after a hard-fought hour, scooped a six-pound black bass into the landing net, weary, but still "game," is not dismayed by bad luck. He who can cast a fly a hundred feet or more finds pleasure in that, if not in fishing. Whoever has taken in a muskellunge of any size will ever after troll patiently, even through masses of weed. Whoever has leaned over the side of a sailboat, peering down into the green, crystalline waters of the Gulf, and seen, twenty feet down, the shimmering sides of a fifteen-pound red grouper, firmly hooked and coming, will never turn over sleepily, for a last nap, when his door is almost broken in at 5 A.M. 7 And, fish or no fish, there are compensations. Into a day of heart-breaking and soul-sickening toil, when all the world goes wrong, must sometimes come the vision of a wooded shore, with tiny dark wavelets singing softly on the rocks and a robin piping cheerily on the topmost bough of a maple. Tired eyes look past the musty ledger and the letter files to a tiny sapphire lake, set in hills, with the late afternoon light streaming in glory from the far mountains beyond. How does the author want the reader to view the catching of unshelled fish? A) Shelled fish are very easily caught. B) The Florida Keys has the best fishing in the South. C) It is cheaper to buy fish from the supermarket than to catch them. D) The real pleasure of fishing is derived from the thrill of the chase.

Ответ:
Ang kahulugan ng "naniningalang-pugad" ay "nanliligaw."
Explanation:
Ang tanong sa itaas ay kaugnay sa paksang "sawikain." Ito ay mga salitang hindi literal and kahulugan kundi may malalim o di-tuwirang kahulugang ipinapahiwatig. Sa Ingles, ito'y tinatawag na "idiom."
Kapag ang lalaki ay nanliligaw sa babae sa tradisyonal na pamamaraan tulad ng "harana," masasabing ang lalaki ay naniningalang-pugad.
Isang pang halimbawa ng sawikain ay ang "mababaw ang luha." Ibig sabihin nito "madaling umiyak."
