Can anyone guess what the equivalent to the 'Teaching Story' might have been in Persian, Arabic or Turkish? Did Shah have a word in mind? I am asking this because people are translating 'Teaching Story' as پندآموز into Persian.-- Wool Bridge ( talk) 14:50, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks to Ivan Georg:
افسانه (Ottoman Turkish) افسان , it is fable, tale, legend, story .... افسانه
(afsâne) in Persian is the same.
افسانہ (Urdu).

اسطوره (Persian). Origin & history: From Arabic. Noun: myth.

Sorry, really difficult to copy and paste here.

No, not really. افسانه is a fairy tale and اسطوره is a myth.-- Wool Bridge ( talk) 19:59, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
The link in the first reference to Doris Lessing's review of The Commanding Self is broken. I was not able to find a replacement. Anyone have at least the citation data of the original article? JohnBuuseue ( talk) 18:14, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
