Researchers of Iranian writers and others have written a lot on the discovery and recognition of Saadi's pen. Narratology is one of the new literary sciences that examines narrative texts, especially stories, from the perspective of quantity and quality and how successful they are in using narrative skills, their impact on the reader, and the percentage of their ability to deliver a message to the audience and recipient of the work.
In this article, three stories of Golestan Saadi are re-examined using the library, descriptive and analytical method, with the help of the rules and skills of modern storytelling. To answer this question, what is the secret of the power, beauty and perfection of Golestan stories? In this article, by re-reading and examining Saadi's stories, it is correctly proven that Saadi's intuitive and unconscious focus on how to process the narrative and his precision in the construction and presentation of the story structure, as modern story writing is looking for after centuries. The main reason for the success of Golestan's stories is their perfection, power, impact and beauty.
Saadi in an extraordinary way to skills such as: how to start the story, create a knot in the longitudinal axis of the story and bring the story to the crisis and climax, and unravel the knot and bring the speech to the end, and the role of dialogue and characterization in the fullness of the story and send a message to the audience is aware.
With artistic precision, he tells the story with an energetic incident that hits the reader's mind and emotions, and what will happen to him in the face of the question? It starts, and by making the necessary knots and creating questions and a sense of curiosity in the mind and soul of the audience, it brings the story to the peak of the crisis, and by unraveling the knot, it reaches its goal of sending a message to the audience.
