.Using characters of animals have been common in stories and tales of Persian literature. These kinds of stories have written for teaching and publishing moral and mystical matters. Speakers of these kinds of stories show evil attribute of animals and their result in form of a story and sometimes point to its moral and mystical result directly. In Persian literature, especially in Iraqi period, plenty of educational and mystic books have written that use these kinds of stories. In this research, in purpose of knowing parables of these books and their speakers, two mystic books of Iraqi period have chosen, and animal symbols and characters have studied on them. These books show that these four speakers use animals for telling their aim in different ways. Furthermore, symbols of animals sometimes have used for telling bad attributes and sometimes have used as story characters instead of human.
