From the internet: Did you know that there is also a talking donkey in the Bible? The story of Balaam and the talking donkey is humorous plus it really happened.
The story can be found in the book of Numbers chapter 22. Balaam was believed to have the ability to bless or curse people. He was a resident in an area near Babylon which is present day Iraq.

Well, there are many. I particularly like the story of Samson killing a thousand men with only the jawbone of a donkey, but why not pick the very first impossible to believe story in the bible? Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 contradict each other on the order of creation: Genesis 1:26 to 1:27 ( God creates man and woman at the same time and AFTER all the animals and plants. ) Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 2:19 to Genesis 2:22 ( God creates animals after man and then woman after the animals. ) Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

After you read the story in Numbers 22: 21-35
Then turn over into the New Testament and read 2 Peter 2:16
Remember it takes the Lord opening the mouth of the animal before they can speak. In Revelation we are told all animals will raise their voices and praise God.

Numbers 22
21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ***, and went with the princes of Moab.
22 ¶ And God’s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ***, and his two servants were with him.
23 And the *** asaw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the *** turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ***, to turn her into the way.
24 But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
25 And when the *** saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
26 And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
27 And when the *** saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the *** with a staff.
28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ***, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
29 And Balaam said unto the ***, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I akill thee.
30 And the *** said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ***, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever bwont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
(All of the *** is where the Bible's word for "donkey" is.)

Numbers 22:21-41
Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went to the princes of Moab. But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the Lord stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, she turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat her to get back on the road. Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path between two vinyards, with walls on both sides. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam's foot against it. So he beat her again. Then the angel of the Lord moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she lay down on Balaam, and he was angry and beat her with his staff. Then the Lord opened the donkey's mouth and she said to Balaam, "What have you done to make you beat me three times?" Balaam answered the donkey, "You have made a fool out of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now." The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in this habit of doing this to you?" "No," he said. Then the Lord opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with a sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown. The angel of the Lord asked him, "Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me. The donkey saw me and turned away from me three times. If she had not turned away, I certainly would have killed you now, but I would have spared her." Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, "I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me. Now if you are displeased, I will go back." The angel of the Lord said to Balaam, "Go with these men, but speak of only what I tell you. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak. When Balak heard that Balaam was comming, he went out to meet him at the Moabite town on the Aronon border, at this edge of the territory. Balak said to Balaam, "Did I not send you urgent summons? Why didn't you come to me? Am I really not able to reward you?" "Well, I have come to you now," Balaam replied. "But can I just say anything? I must only speak what God puts in my mouth." Then Balaam went with Balak to Kiriath Huzoth. Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep and gave some to Balaam and to the princes who were with him. The next morning Balak took Balaam up to Bamoth Baal, and from there he saw part of the people.
You're welcome and remember that God and the Bible are real and may God bless you all!
