The value and meaning of the word depend on its creator - the feelings of the poetic spirit of the vocabulary of our grandparents. The lyrical form of oral folk literature, children’s folklore, created by the charming influence of the artistic word, also plays a great role in the development of children’s intellectual and artistic aesthetic perfection, awakens, revives, strengthens the senses of artistic pleasure, affects their feelings and instincts.
