Isi was visiting her grandparents in Benin-city. One day, while exploring the barn, she met Key, a friendly donkey.

Isi loved spending time with Key. She would feed him apples and stroke his grey coat. One day, to her surprise, Key spoke to her.

'Isi,' Key began in a soft voice, 'I want to tell you a story about a donkey who could speak, just like me.' Isi's eyes widened with curiosity.

Key told her about Balaam's donkey, the first talking donkey from the Bible. He explained how the donkey had saved Balaam from God's wrath.

Isi listened intently as Key narrated the story. She was fascinated by the tale and the wisdom Key displayed.
