Carried through jungle

When they hit the ground, somehow Pokey made it through without so much as a mosquito bite,
but Aloysius had been pinned under his son's massive body and had been unable to breathe,
so he had lost consciousness. Hurrying to escape before the gasoline could catch fire,
Pokey took his father in his arms, strapped the golden Mani Mani statue to his back, and then ran for his life...
until at last he had found this village. The exhausted Pokey fell asleep almost immediately.
When he woke up again, he quickly noticed that Aloysius was mindlessly cutting palm
fronds down to the size of dollar bills, and devoting his undivided attention to
counting them.
