"And you should lie to make them feel bad."

Not to be pushy here...

But please, for the love of Ran, continue this story!

Funny enough, some 17 might be teaching that to her... students. (It's rude to call them "kids" of the 17...)

is there not going to be more?

Below is the plot summary of Ozawa Tadashi's original picture book.

The story, starts with Mr. Star ~a person with a star-shaped head~ coming to the fox's bakery to buy a loaf of bread.

Mr. Star says, "Say, Mr. Fox, You bread is delicious, but you're no match for the cat baker."

The fox is worried when he hears this, so he disguises himself as a gentleman, eats some bread from the cat's bakery, and says, "Mr. Cat, your bread is delicious, but you're no match for the fox baker." However, Fox feels that the cat's bread is in fact much better, and returns to his store and cries.

Then the cat baker comes by disguised as a businessman and says the exact opposite of what the fox said. The the cat too feels that his rival's bread is much better and cries as well.
"Since I can't beat the fox, I can't go on being a baker. I have no choice but to quit my shop and become a stray cat."

The breads, who had become worried over their master the cat's constant crying, telephoned a doctor. The doctor, a bear, gives his diagnosis, "It's a combination of depression and weeping sickness. It's nothing serious. You'll get well soon after awhile in the hospital."

The cat leaves the breads in charge of the store ~the breads sell themselves~ to enter the hospital, and finds the fox baker in the bed next to his.
The two of them talk things over and decide, "either one is just as delicious," become great friends, and work together at the same shop after they leave the hospital.

The story ends with the Star looking down from the night sky on the thriving bakery and smiling.

"It was probably Mr. Star's idea from the start to make the cat and the fox run the store together."

... The breads sell themselves? They're sentient bread hunting down people they want to force to eat them? That's even more disturbing than before!

They are a feature at Milliways if I am not mistaken.
