 | | Tappy originally received his nickname because as a young apprentice elf many centuries ago, his job was to tap the red strip into the candy canes that went into children's stockings. |
 | | Of course, that was long ago and he had graduated to become one of the most important leprechauns in the workshop. |
 | | Tappy, you see, was the custodian of Santa's vat of "little dust," and it was in explaining the nature and use of "little dust" that Tappy solved one of the great mysteries of Christmas. |
