English term or phrase: Grumping
Estoy traduciendo unas planificaciones para los maestros del colegio donde trabajo, en el se encuentran algunas preguntas sobre el libro El Lorax de Dr. Seuss donde aparece la siguiente frase
"You're glumping the pond where the Humming-Fish hummed."

La palabra grumping me tiene atascado, les agradezco enormemente si alguien pueda darme una idea del significado del término grumping en en ese contexto.
Mil gracias.
