A boy is at an airport in California. He is from Somalia. He wants to go back there. He wants to find his mother.

He gets inside the space for the plane’s wheel. The plane flies up. It is very cold up there. The boy has problems with breathing, but he lives. The plane lands in Hawaii.

Now the boy is at the airport in Hawaii. An airport worker finds him. The boy goes to hospital.

Difficult words: wheel (circle), breathe (to get air in the body).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.
