Many strange stories in the Bible are meant to teach moral lessons. The story of the talking donkey of Balaam could be about the idea that God can use the most unexpected things or beings to convey His message. So, we should be open to His signs everywhere.

We can start by looking at the historical context. For example, in the story of Jonah, it might have been a way to show God's mercy even when people try to run away from His commands. Understanding the culture and the beliefs of that time helps.

Interpretation also depends on the overall theology of the Bible. Samson's story can be seen as a cautionary tale about pride and the importance of keeping one's vows. His strength was a gift from God, but he misused it due to his own weaknesses, and this led to his downfall. By looking at how different elements in the story relate to the broader themes of the Bible, we can better understand these strange stories.
