A relatively longer, but classical Japanese book for the reasonable price of JPY1,000. Talks about a murder of crows that fell on hard times and how they became bakers that were loved by all.

The story has multiple parts and could easily be a chapter book. At one point the bakery becomes so famous that long lines fall, people break into fights, and firetruck, ambulance, and police get called in. The dad crow uses a simple process to optimize the lines and everyone goes home happy buying tons and tons of bread. The bakers are hard working, their customers love their product - finally, the add value to society by ensuring it's more peaceful than before they were successful.
