The Divine Mother gives joy to Her devotees. 

One’s body is developed through food intake and appropriate levels of physical exercises. The Divine Mother is playful type; She creates interest in various universal creatures for physical sports and exercise to upkeep them. This helps to reduce the difference between the devotee and the Divine Mother. This may be called the divine play by the Divine Mother; through such divine plays, the devotee gets to near the Divine Mother and his devotion towards Her grows. She shows Her simplicity to level off with the devotees and to grace with all Her glory to them.
