About the text
This short text is the story of a 12-year-old boy who decided
to run away from home and managed to book flights and
accommodation, and travel by himself 1,800 miles (2,900
kilometres) from Australia to Bali.

There are two meanings of grounded – one is when a plane is
prevented from flying, the other is when a child or teenager
is restricted to their home by their parents, following bad
behaviour (as a punishment). The two meanings of flight are
the journey of flying, and more generally fleeing (running
away) from somewhere
