"I was so sure," says the Sandman sadly. "I really felt that there was a friend for me. And now that I've imagined it, I can't bear to be without one."
Every night when the Sandman finishes sprinkling his sleeping sand, he comes home and watches the sunrise. But one morning, the Sandman realises he is lonely. He needs to find a friend. He starts looking that very night, but quickly discovers that everyone - children, animals, even the fish in the ocean - falls asleep as soon as he arrives.
There is someone who is never sleepy, someone who would be the perfect friend - if only Sandman can find her!
