Gorf the frog is standing on the first lily pad in a row of lily pads numbered from $1$ to $20$ from left to right. On a single jump, Gorf is able to jump either $1,2,$ or $3$ lily pads to the right. Unfortunately all the prime-numbered lily pads are contaminated with a deadly poison. How many sequences of jumps are there that allow Gorf to jump to the twentieth lily pad, while avoiding the poison?
