"Have you got children?" the girl asked him.
"Yes," he said "I have a dughter."Of course he felt like he was denying Laura, expected to hear a cock crow everytime he made this answer bu people did not want him to say "Yes I have two, one alive and one dead."
How can I explain the phrase " expected to hear a cock crow" ?
