When I think about it, it's a great depiction of what we all go through every day. Surrounded by humans who are all different, people we just don't understand, angry dragons who aren't really evil, they’re just lashing out because they need a little help, a righteous battle to fight, little people pretending to be big (no comment), ridiculous moments to laugh at and yes the constant chatter of donkeys as we go about our day.
Years ago there was a guy named Balaam, a prophet who was summoned by a fearful king to place a curse on the Israelites as they began to gain momentum. After a few back-and-forths with God on the matter, Balaam saddled up his Donkey and went to do the deed. On the way, an angel that only the donkey could see tried to stop them. As his donkey freaked out, Balaam beat it to get back on track until finally, the Donkey turned to his master and said, "What the heck?!?!"
"Then the Lord gave the donkey the ability to speak, 'What have I done to you that deserves your beating me three times?' it asked Balaam."
At this point, I would be a little freaked out. When things get weird, we have to be patient.
