sounds,
so many changing moods. Because, you know, they dont
ring all by themselves.
Puppet: They dont?!?
Clopin: No, silly boy. Up there, high, high in the dark
bell tower, lives the mysterious bell ringer. Who is

Puppet: Who?
Clopin: What is he?
Puppet: What?
Clopin: How did he come to be there?
