Synopsis:
When Clark Kent sees a documentary about a golden jungle, it triggers a memory from his childhood. Clark urgently becomes Superboy, flies to the jungle, then destroys a rock he finds there. He remembered that he was told the story of King Midas as a child and created the golden jungle himself.
When Superboy returns home, he asks his foster father to remember which stories he was told as a child. He remembers that he acted out several of them in his dreams. Superboy finds several other locations which he visited in his early childhood. In each location, he destroys an object.
Jonathan successfully remembers the stories he told Clark, including the first one about George Washington and the cherry tree. Superboy flies Jonathan to the moon and shows him a message carved on a rock that reads: "Clark Kent jumped over the moon." When Clark heard the George Washington story as a child, he decided to "tell the truth" by writing his name at every location. The rocks Superboy destroyed contained Clark's name and if found by others would reveal his secret identity.
