The aim of the present study is to examine and compare the rewritten story of Simorgh, written by Mohammad Kazem Mazinani, and “The Gathering of Birds” by Peter Siss. “The Gathering of Birds” and “Readable Stories of Manteq al-Tair Attar” by Mazinani are, to some extent, miniatures of Manteq al-Tair for a child and adolescent audience, which allow the reader to freely interpret a mystical text. This comparison, using the method of description and content analysis, seeks to answer the following questions: Do mystical texts need to be rewritten or recreated, given their content nature? What structural and content changes have been made in the rewritten story of Simorgh, and which rewriting or recreation could be suitable for an adolescent audience? The results of the study showed that in rewriting the Simorgh story, Mohammad Kazem Mazinani maintained the narrative style of the story within the story and was somewhat faithful to the original text. In contrast, in the book "The Gathering of Birds", Peter Siss created a subtle suspense by using images and symbolism that helps the reader understand better and actively participate in the narrative; however, the mystical dimension of the work has been somewhat reduced and its educational and didactic aspect has become more prominent. In terms of structure, Peter Siss has provided the opportunity for reflection and questioning by creating an open ending (aperture). In terms of content, Mazinani's work is closer to the original text due to the use of mystical concepts and pre-text verses
