So Quasimodo decides it's time to retire... He's getting old, and ringing the bell at the Notre Dame cathedral has become too taxing. He puts a 'help wanted' ad in the local newspaper looking for a bell ringer, and receives a response the very next day from a skinny, overeager peasant, who agrees to meet him up in the bell tower. Upon meeting, Quasimodo sizes the man up and says, ""Look sir, this job requires a tremendous amount of physical strength. Are you sure you're up for the task?"" The peasant says ""Of course! Just watch..."" and he breaks into a dead run and slams into the bell with his face. The bell begins to ring and makes a lovely sound. Quasimodo is astounded. He tells the peasant if he can do it once more, he'll land the job. So the man rears back, and sprints towards the bell again, except this time he misses the bell and falls, screaming, down the bell tower to his death. Quasimodo races down the bell tower stairs and by the time he arrives at the scene a small crowd has formed. One of the onlookers sees Quasimodo and asks, ""Hey, do you know this man?"" To which Quasimodo replies, ""No, but his face rings a bell."" Part Two: So Quasimodo runs the ad in the newspaper again, and lo and behold, the peasant's twin brother, just as slight of build, answers the ad and agrees to meet Quasimodo in the bell tower. Upon meeting, Quasimodo is blunt: ""You do know your brother died trying to ring this bell, don't you?"" The peasant is equally blunt: ""My brother was a fool, I am much stronger than he was. Here, I'll show you."" The twin rears back and races towards the bell, slamming into with his face and making it ring loud and clear. Quasimodo is still floored, but agrees that the peasant can have the job if he can do it once more. The peasant sprints towards the bell again face-first, but misses the bell and goes hurtling down the bell tower to his death. ""Oh here we go..."" thinks Quasimodo as he races down the bell tower stairs once more to find a crowd gathered around the man's remains. Another onlooker questions him: ""Quasimodo, who is this guy??"" To which Quasimodo replies, ""I don't know, but he's the dead ringer for his brother.""
