Using either "sed" or cascaded "grep"s (one "grep" piping its output into another "grep") you could first match all lines containing "boy" and then filter out from the resulting set all lines containing "This is a boy." For instance:
Alternatively, cascaded "grep"s (which will be slower than the first solution):
Counting the lines printed this way is left as an exercise to the reader. ;-))

zegrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
