Abstract
Literature possesses the power to connect human beings directly to their hearts. It nurtures unity and culture without disturbing the individuality of society, while reflecting the emotions of communities that live in harmony with nature. Every language in the world holds a rich variety of literary forms. Among them, riddles — which were originally transmitted orally — have gained such distinction that they are now recognized and studied as a valuable branch of literature.
