There was a kind artist named Iantha Naicker. She loved painting animals, but she wanted to make her art extra special. So, she thought of a clever idea. She invited tiny ants to help her with her paintings!
Iantha knew ants loved sugar, so she put a little bit of sugar on her paintings. The ants would come, attracted by the sweetness, and walk around, making lovely paths and patterns. These patterns made Iantha’s animal paintings even more magical.
It wasn’t easy to get everything right, though. The ants moved very fast, and it was hard for Iantha to take pictures of them working. She had to try many times before she got the perfect picture. But she didn’t give up. Each time, she smiled and tried again because she loved seeing the beauty the ants brought to her art.
In the end, Iantha’s hard work was worth it. The ants made her paintings look amazing, and together, they created something truly special—art made by both an artist and nature.
