The Tall Tappers

Story
A certain young man moves into town, wishing to become a star. He saw a flyer reading "Tap star wanted!" in a café, and considered himself the luckiest man on the planet to have seen it. He soon went to the audition studio, joining three other young guys, all very tense. They found four grey boxes lined up in a row on a desk, though they had no idea what they are for. A bearded man wearing a yellow box on his head welcomed them to the audition, and noticed their long legs and symmetrical heads, saying they have "all the right stuff" to become tap stars. He asked them to put the grey boxes on their heads. After some hesitation, they complied, and immediately passed the audition. Thus, began their career as tap stars[1].
