<blockquote>"I want to be a star!" That was what I thought every minute of every day after I moved to this town.</blockquote> | |||
<blockquote>Then I saw the most important flyer on the most important café bulletin board of my life. | |||
The flyer read, "Tap star wanted!" | |||
I knew this was my big chance. On the day of the audition, there were three other young guys waiting with me in the studio. | |||
There were four gray boxes lined up neatly in a row on a desk in front of us. We had no idea what they were for. | |||
A bearded man wearing a yellow box on his head burst into the room with a hearty "Welcome! Welcome!" | |||
"You guys look great! Long legs-- symmetrical heads-- you have all the right stuff to become tap stars!" | |||
"OK, now. Would you all please put these boxes on your heads?" | |||
I had a decision to make. Would I put this box on my head and risk looking silly for a chance at stardom? | |||

The poster said "Tap Star auditions!" | |||
I thought I would have to be the luckiest boy in the world to win the audition and become world famous so easily, but I knew I had to try. I sat waiting nervously with three other young lads waiting for their chance to shine. | |||
I noticed a great box placed on a desk in front of me and wondered what it was for. | |||
A man carrying a yellow box entered the room and began speaking enthusiastically. | |||
"Welcome! Welcome! Hey, you lads look great! You've got the right look and legs long enough to be the next tap stars!" | |||
"Let's get started! Would you mind putting the boxes on? This box might look plain but it will make you a star!" | |||
I felt a bit uncertain but put the box over my head. | I felt a bit uncertain but put the box over my head. | ||
