Grandpa Donkey Abraham is a great storyteller. He is a walking historian. However, his job can best be described as teacher. He has many techniques to get his listeners to learn. His greatest message is for us not to demean, threaten, hate, bully or reject anyone but with a caring heart and a loving spirit to teach and to entertain. He will not deny that he loves his Creator. He praises the Creator with joy. He teaches all of the barnyard animals to praise and give God thanks all the time. God loves us all, animals and humans, "so does Grandpa Donkey Abraham." History tells us who we are. The present is preparing us for what we are becoming. The future is a product of today. Grandpa Donkey Abraham would say after saying all that, "But God!" I, the author, pray that you will tell stories to your children like my father did when I was growing up. His doing so is some of the greatest memories of my childhood. Hard work, church, and my father's stories saturated my mind with images of times past. The bad comes when you don't want it to, but thank God for the good. I can go back in time and pull out a memory card and replay the story again. If you have been around me for a while, I am sure I have told you at least one of his stories. Now you have a reason to read Numbers 22:1-35 in the Bible to your children. I would like to continue to write stories of Grandpa Donkey Abraham. So can I count on you to listen and learn?

Usually when you see a donkey that can talk, it is either a cartoon character or a fictional story. However, this story is fictional and the talking donkey is real. The Bible has lots of true stories that appear to be fictional, but in their particular incident are real. Since God made the donkey, then he can also make the donkey talk anytime He wants to do so. The donkey is very loyal to Balaam and tries to keep him from being harmed by unseen dangers. When Balaam, out of frustration, gets angry with the donkey, he takes his anger out on the donkey. Then God allowed the donkey to talk to Balaam and explain to him that he was only watching out for his safety. The story about the donkey can be found in the Bible in the book of Numbers chapter 22. The talking donkey is very unusual but totally true. There are many stories of unbelievable incidents that appear to happen that defy our rules. Look for the next book about iron that floats. Iron is a heavy metal and can’t float in water.

“The kind of volume anyone should read for the exquisite pleasure of encountering poetry completely under its creator’s tremendous control.”—The Rumpus In his richest and most varied collection of poems to date, Robert Bly mines lifelong fascination with poetic form. The poems in Talking into the Ear of a Donkey range from free verse to Bly’s uniquely American version of the famous ghazal form. In the title poem, Bly addresses the “donkey”—possibly poetry itself—which has carried him through a writing life of more than six decades: from "Talking into the Ear of a Donkey" "What has happened to the spring," I cry, "and our legs that were so joyful In the bobblings of April?" "Oh, never mind About all that," the donkey Says. "Just take hold of my mane, so you Can lift your lips closer to my hairy ears."
