Synopsis:
Superboy stops a robbery in his own home. He stops crooks from robbing Jonathan Kent's safe which contains a photo album of Clark's super-powered exploits as a toddler. While Jonathan shows his son the pictures, one of them blows out the window where it is found by Lana Lang. The picture shows baby Clark lifting a tree. To cover his secret, Superboy constructs a lightweight fake tree prop. He then gives it to Lana's kid brother. When she sees him carrying the tree, she assumes it was the same one Clark was lifting in the photo.
