A fable I've created: The wisest professor - surprised to find that a donkey can speak

The wisest professor in Moab, said that donkeys have never made any sounds or noises other than what history has recorded that they make. But then, one student in his audience, one day - said, "Sir, I beg your pardon! But I've heard of a case where a donkey did make some sounds never heard from a donkey before. I heard a donkey speak to a man, named Balaam! I was so surprised!" Then, the professor went to ask Balaam if this really happened, and Balaam had to agree that it had. The professor went back to that student, and said, "You're right! I've never heard of anything like that, before! I guess it goes to show that no matter how how educated and learned a man is - there's no guarantee that he won't learn anything new!

Looks like the moral of that story is that it is possible to teach an old dog new tricks.

I shouldn't ask, but how is this a fable?

Or behave like a donkey.

It is simply fabulous.

It is a joy to know...
that there is always room to grow.

I call it a fable, since I composed it, and added some things to it. Maybe I should have called it a parable. Pretty much the same meaning though. I'm glad you liked it! Yes, as you know - Balaam's donkey did speak in that story! Remarkable for sure! Lots of miracles like this are disbelieved by people of the world - including sects that don't believe the whole Bible to be God's Word and to be trusted above all other things!
