This article illustrates the instances of the application of the motive of humor in literary works for two purposes. The most ancient form of literature, Oral Folk Art, derived from folkloric examples, continues to be widely utilized in contemporary literature through the motive of humor. In the Uzbek folk tale "Zumrad va Qimmat" or the Russian folk tale "Zolushka," humor often triumphs over adversity in the face of the protagonists' struggles. Whether it's Zumrad or Zolushka, their stepmothers and stepmothers-in-law, no matter how cruel, cannot harm them because their hearts are pure, and they ultimately prevail over adversity with humor.
