"So here it is," he said, and now suddenly his voice became soft and whispery and very private. "Pheasants," he whispered, "are crazy about raisins."
"Is that the big secret?"
"That's it," he said. "It may not sound very much when I say it like that, but believe me it is."
"Raisins?" I said
"Just ordinary raisins. It's like a mania with them. You throw a few raisins into a bunch of pheasants and they'll start fighting each other to get at them. My dad discovered that forty years ago, just as he discovered these other things I am about to describe to you."
