There is a medrash in which the mountains discuss why each should be the one on which the Torah is given. I even vaguely recall a medrash about the letters of the Hebrew alphabet arguing over which one should be the first in the Torah.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of other examples (or a premade list) of medrashim in which inanimate objects are given voice/personality. There are plenty of stories in which inanimate objects are discussed, but are there others in which those objects are given the power of speech?
Does the desert ever speak? What about water, or the Torah, itself? Or other things.
TIA
(I'm not asking about jokes, like the one about the floor, the bima and the back of the shul)
