&lt;strong&gt;Abstract&lt;/strong&gt;
Sa&#039;di has used narration In &lt;em&gt;Boostan&lt;/em&gt; as the artistic vehicle of morality to express his views. The aim of this paper is to study the plot of these narratives. To this end, those stories, which had complete narrative were chosen and their plots were analyzed.  It is argued that most of the stories, though short, have a complete plot consisting of exposition, rising action, climax falling action, resolution. Thus, the narrations of the anecdotes are not complicated but linear. Events appear in the narrative in a correlated and chain-linked way. They can be classified as three types: normal 38 (90.48%), incomplete 3 stories (7.14%), and perfect 1 story (2.38%).
&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot; /&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
