It is completely unacceptable. Neighbors are people we live close to, and we should foster a harmonious and respectful relationship with them. Spreading a story like this violates basic moral principles. It can lead to unnecessary disputes and a breakdown in neighborly relations. Moreover, it reflects poorly on the person spreading the story in terms of their character and values.
If the wife sees the neighbor's big rooster, she could first try to keep a safe distance. Roosters can sometimes be aggressive. Maybe she can talk to the neighbor about it, asking them to keep the rooster in a more enclosed area if it's causing concerns.
She might be surprised at first. If it's a really large or unusual - looking water tap cock, she could mention it to her husband or friends just as an interesting observation.
If the story she sees is about a rescued rooster or a rooster that overcame some difficulties, it can be a positive event. It might make her feel good about the kindness in the world and also give her ideas on how to contribute to animal welfare, like donating to local animal shelters or farms that take care of roosters.
I'm not sure specifically what the 'neighbors cock story' is as the name is rather unclear. It could potentially be a story related to a neighbor's rooster if 'cock' is taken literally in the sense of a male chicken. Maybe it's about some interesting or strange incident involving the neighbor's rooster, like it waking people up every morning or getting into the garden and causing chaos.
Perhaps it implies that the wife has come across a new account or tale about a rooster. For example, it could be a story of a rooster's adventures in the farmyard, like how it chased away a fox or found a new place to perch.
We should always be skeptical of unsubstantiated stories. Don't just believe what you hear without evidence. And if it's something inappropriate like this, don't spread it at all.
Well, perhaps it's a story about a wife who grew up in the city and then visited a countryside place where she saw a really big rooster for the first time. It could be that she was initially a bit scared or very intrigued. This encounter might have led to some comical situations, like she didn't know how to react around it or she tried to feed it but was a bit hesitant because of its large size. And it could also be a story that her family or friends love to tease her about later on.
This seems like a very odd and perhaps misphrased description. Maybe 'pettie' was meant to be 'petite'? And 'bid cock' might be 'big cock' which could refer to a large rooster. But it's still just speculation. It could be a local or made - up story that is not common knowledge.
I'm not entirely sure as the phrase seems rather unclear. 'Pettie' might be a misspelling. It could potentially be about a small or petite wife who has some sort of interaction regarding a neighbor's rooster, but without more context it's hard to say for certain.
