A king wanted a man named Balaam to put a curse on God's people. Balaam got on his donkey and went.
An angel with a sword stood in the road! The donkey saw the angel, but Balaam didn't. The donkey stopped, and Balaam hit her.
Then God made the donkey talk! “Why are you hitting me?” Then Balaam saw the angel too. He learned to say only what God told him.
