‘Then why did you get me into trouble?’ I asked, thinking it was a really bad way to make friends. ‘I heard you chuckling.’

‘Your sandwich joke made me laugh,’ said the monster. ‘So I tried to make you laugh too by doing the things that you said. I didn’t mean to get you into trouble. I thought it would be funny.’

I suppose it would have been funny if I hadn’t been blamed, so I put the spade down. The sea monster was obviously friendly and I felt sorry for him being lonely and having to hide in the sand.

‘I would play with you,’ I said, ‘but I’m pretty sure my mum’s taking me home soon. And we probably won’t be back for a while, especially after the burial and the crabs and the sand sandwiches.’

The sea monster nodded sadly.

Mum was heading back with our lunch so I told the monster to hide again.

‘I’ll try to get my mum to stay longer, but I can’t promise anything because she’s very cross with me,’ I whispered. ‘If I can talk her round, I’ll meet you in the sea after lunch.’

The head-shaped mound nodded and then slowly shrank beneath the sand.
