Synopsis for "Secret of the Handicapped Boys!"

This story is reprinted from The Flash #133.

Up early on a day off from school, Wally West changes into Kid Flash and races off to the Sunfield Camp for Handicapped Children located on Blue Hill where he is scheduled to make an appearance for the disabled children that are attending the camp this year. There Kid Flash performs a number of super feats, such as racing against marathon runners, grabbing flags and capturing a basket full of apples that is dumped out of a tree without letting any touch the ground. After the display, Kid Flash takes time to rest and hang out with the disabled children. While grabbing a hot meal, Kid Flash finds a message taped to the bottom of his plate, asking him to go to a meeting at an old cabin up the trail.

Going to investigate he finds Freddy Garson (a mute), Dave Dent (who is deaf) and Harry Watkins (who is blind) all waiting for him. There the three children admit that they have accidentally deduced Kid Flash's secret identity. Harry recognizing that Kid Flash and Wally's voices are the same, Dave noticing the similarities by reading Kid Flash's lips, and Freddy recognizing the similar hand writing. The three boys are worried about what to do, and before Kid Flash can answer, the rotted deck that Harry is standing on breaks, but he is saved from a bad fall by Kid Flash.

Before leaving, Kid Flash, without admitting or denying the boys discovery, tells them that regardless of the truth, the best thing that they can do is keep the secret of Kid Flash's identity, and leaves. A few days later, Wally receives a package in the mail signed by his "three biggest fans", inside is a small statue of "the wise monkeys" (see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil) and realizes that the boys have decided to keep the secret of Kid Flash's identity a secret.
