A young girl named Sophie is working with her father at the lighthouse. She looks out across the beach and notices there is something strange moving out there. She tells her father, who tells her a story of a dangerous Sand Troll, who is rarely seen and wanders the sand in search of items that wash up. Sophie goes out in search of the Sand Troll and leaves a shell necklace in a glass bottle on the sand, trying to lure it out. She waits for so long that she falls asleep, and when she wakes the necklace has gone and she notices the tide had come in and cut her off. She starts to panic, but suddenly the Sand Troll appears. At first she is afraid but then realises that he is friendly. The Sand Troll takes her back to the shore, Sophie runs to pick something up to give to the Sand Toll but when she turns around he is gone. She looks around puzzled; the Sand Troll hides behind her, half sunken in the sand. She turns around and smiles seeing the top of the Sand Troll’s head. They begin to play hide and seek, Sophie runs in to a nearby beach hut, which is filled with loads of special items. The Sand Troll walks in behind her. She is really amazed by all this and picks something of the shelf. Sophie hears her Dad calling her and she goes out to greet him. She starts telling him about the adventure she has had. But her farther tells her that the Sand Troll is make-believe. As he picks her up to carry her back into the lighthouse, Sophie looks over his shoulder and notices the Sand Troll smiling and waving from the sand.
