Then the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?" And Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have made a fool of me. I wish I had a sword in my hand, for then I would kill you."
Numbers 22:28-29 English Standard Version
What striks me most about this story isn't so much that the donkey talked back to Balaam (after all I am a Narnia and Brian Jaques child) but that Balaam talked back to her!
I mean seriously wouldn't you at least do a double-take before threatening death on your transportation?
