The bisop decided he would conduct the interviews personally and went up into the belfry to begin the screening process.
After observing several applicants demonstrate their skills, he had decided to call it a day.
Just then, an armless man approached him and announced that he wanted to apply for the job.
The bishop was incredulous. "You have no arms"
"No matter", said the man. "Observe!". He then began striking the bells with his head, producing a beautiful melody.
The bishop listened in astonishment; convinced he had finally found a replacement for Quasimodo.
But suudenly, 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 him. When he reached the street a crowd had gathered around the fallen figure, drawn to the area 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,
"...........but his face rings a bell"
