Granted. Fortunately you ended up near the rock pool at the local beach. Children, being children, one child found you and immediately did what all kids do at the beach. Eat sand in vast quantities. The internal heat of the childs body slowly turned you into a looking glass, which you were for eternity, able to look at the image of the gorgeous man you became from eating that specially wished for sand.
As for the sand that wasn't eaten, I hear you ask? That was dumped by a Katrina style typhoon that came in after the kids had left the beach and it spead your remains to the 4 winds. In fact I think some ended up on Avoca Beach. Let go down and check out to see if some of you is still there. Won't be long. .......... 1 grain of sand, 2 grains of sand, 3 grains of sand, 4 grains of sand ...... No! Not so far, but there's a few more still to count.
I wish I was gnome
