Talking Donkey????

..So there was this donkey, right? And it was talking to this guy....
There are some who would say we have to take everything in the Bible literally.
Others can't believe in anything vaguely supernatural.
The story of Balaam and his talking donkey is one of the strangest in scipture. Did a donkey really talk? Any why?
