Once upon a time, there lived a turtle named Tim who lived in an igloo made of ice. One day, Tim wanted to write a letter to his friend, the tiger. But he had no paper, so he decided to use the table as his canvas. Tim dipped his pen in ink and began to write. But as he wrote, the ink started to spread all over the table, making a big mess.

Just then, an iguana named Iggy walked by and saw the mess. “What happened here?” asked Iggy. Tim explained his situation and Iggy came up with a solution. “I know! Let's use these insects as your pen,” said Iggy. Tim and Iggy started to collect ants and let them walk on the table, leaving tracks in the ink. The letter turned out to be beautiful and unique, and the tiger loved it! Tim and Iggy became good friends and continued to write letters using their creative insect pens.

The end.
