Think of the Network ID as the suburb you live in and the Node ID your street in that suburb. You can tell exactly where someone is if you have their suburb and street name. In the same way, the Network ID tells us which network a particular computer belongs to and the Node ID identifies that computer from all the rest that reside in the same network.

Suggestion

Instead of suburb & street, wont it make more easier to understand if we use street & house for network ID & node ID respectively.
