Abstract
   
This paper tries to review the most important story of Kalileh and Demneh i.e. lion and cow in order to achieve a new reading from the anecdote based on symbols of inner text. With this perspective, in the process of review and analysis, audience encounters to this basic question as: whether this text can be trusted and that can be read and accepted based on the desire of the author?” The trend that was prevalent in literary researches so far has emphasized exactly in the author’s reading. Author believes that there is abundance of symbols/signs in this story that make the audience unfaithful towards the text.
This story has four main characters whose share in the advancement of the story is not the same. Most fictional dialogue and interaction occur between lion and Kalileh and Demneh.  Shenzbeh plays the role les than others and is almost a passive character. It seems that a different interpretation of text can be achieved through a careful insight on the dialogues between the characters and their actions.
In this new reading, new and diverse images emerge from the characters and utmost from the narrative. This could be a model from cardiac function and various instances in traditional system as well as help review other texts.
 

Keywords: Literary Criticism, Structuralism in Kalileh, Iranian Classical Stories, Kalile and Demneh
