I dont know how old this one is but it's a first time for me:-----
After Quasimodo's death, the bishop of the Cathedral of Notre
Dame sent word through the streets of Paris that a new bell ringer was needed.
The bishop decided that he would conduct the interviews
personally and went up into the belfry to begin the screening process.
After observing several applicants demonstrate their skill, he had decided
to call it a day.
Just then, an armless man approached him and announced that he was
there to apply for the bell ringer's job.
The bishop was incredulous. "You have no arms!"
"No matter," said the man. "Observe!"
And he began striking the bells with his face, producing a
beautiful melody on the carillon. The bishop listened in astonishment;
convinced he had finally found a replacement for Quasimodo. But
suddenly, rushing forward to strike a bell, the armless man tripped and plunged
headlong out of the belfry window to his death in the street below. The stunned
bishop rushed to his side. When he reached the street, a crowd had
gathered around the fallen figure, drawn by the beautiful music they had heard
only moments before.
As they silently parted to let the bishop through, one of them
asked, "Bishop, who was this man?"
"I don't know his name," the bishop sadly replied,
(scroll down)
"BUT HIS FACE RINGS A BELL"....
WAIT! WAIT! There's more.............
The following day, despite the sadness that weighed heavily on
his heart due to the unfortunate death of the armless campanologist,
the bishop continued his interviews for the bell ringer of Notre Dame.
The first man to approach him said, "Your Excellency, I am the
brother of the poor armless wretch that fell to his death from this
very belfry yesterday. I pray that you honour his life by allowing me to
replace him in this duty."
The bishop agreed to give the man an audition, and, as the
armless man's brother stooped to pick up a mallet to strike the first
bell, he groaned, clutched at his chest, twirled around, and died on the
spot.
Two monks, hearing the bishop's cries of grief of this second
tragedy, rushed up the stairs to his side. "What has happened? Who is
the man?" the first monk asked breathlessly.
"I don't know his name," sighed the distraught bishop,
but............."
(.....Wait for it.......)
(.......It's worth it.......)
HE'S A DEAD RINGER FOR HIS BROTHER."
