The spin properties and the flavor asymmetric sea of the nucleon can be well explained by assuming that each constituent quark is surrounded with about 30% probability by a quark-antiquark pair coupled to the pion quantum numbers. We show that about one quarter of these quark-antiquark pairs show up as the pion in $\p\to\n\pi^+$ and $\p\to\p\pi^0$ fluctuation in agreement with the observed value in the ($\e+\p\to\e+$ forward neutron+X) experiment.
