Abstract
The story of the half-peas is a folk tale and the story of the Magician of the Oz, written and translated with a very solid plot in children’s literature, shows a great deal of similarity and homogeneity; from a functional and language attitude point of view, the story of the half peas and the magician of Oz, after praising and indispensable of pragmatism, the possibility of similarity and commonality of popular and childish ideas in the quest for self-knowledge, truth and braveness, socialization and joining the community, manifest. In this descriptive-analytical research, it is shown that this continuity corresponds not only in simple expression and language but also in basic principles and ideas, and inductive findings indicate that there is an archetype of hero’s journey, with three stages of separation, arrival and return, in both stories, and this common point of the myth connects vulgarity with childhood. Contrary to the simplicity of their language, which facilitates the transmission of the heritage of the past and the live experiences of human beings, popular and childish literature is thought provoking and full of knowledge, and carries the heavy burden of passing on cultural themes and concepts from generation to generation.

Summary
Myths speak of heroes and superhuman powers, and events take place in complete emptiness and timelessness. Joseph Campbell is an American writer and mythologist who, based on Jung's views, sets out the archetype of the hero's journey in The Hero with a Thousand Faces In this work, he explains the inner and outer journey of man in the form of a single myth of the hero's journey, which leads to the evolution of the main character of the story; During the journey, the hero undergoes internal and external changes and comes to know himself and me. The self, or the conscious consciousness or conscience, is composed of feelings, memories, thoughts, desires, and emotions, and in general of everything that is known to the person or can be known to him, and enables the person's knowledge of his unity and identity [12] By presenting this archetype, Campbell has tried to show that the journey of heroes in the narrative works of different nations often follows a single pattern, and the result is the creation of new arenas in the critique of archetypal. Archetypes are the same and common ideas, they manifest themselves in every period of history in the form of common beliefs of that period
