The hero was the the king of the Agave Snout Weevils, who mobilized his fellow slugs when he realized that Pokey was under the influence . The snout weevil army overcame the nasty Chollas by surreptitiously chewing their roots. They didn’t realize what had happened until it was too late. It was a slow and painful death. Pokey and Pimsey lived happily ever after, which in cactus flower land, is about 12 hours.
