What is the oldest myth or parable with an animal talking to people?

Asked by mattbrowne (31732points) June 11th, 2011

Is it the snake talking to Eve?

And how did the people at the time interpret such myths or parables when they heard them? That animals could really talk? Or that they were symbols for a deeper meaning?
