In Collodi, the Shark’s mouth is open (he suffers from asthma and heart disease), and to organize the escape Pinocchio needs no more than courage. ‘’Then, my dear Father, there is no time to lose. We must escape.’’
‘’Escape! How?’’

‘’You speak well, but I cannot swim, my dear Pinocchio.’’
‘’Why should that matter? You can climb on my shoulder and I, who am a fine swimmer, will carry you safely to shore.’’
‘’Dreams, my boy!’’ answered Geppetto, shaking his head and smiling sadly. ‘’Do you think it possible for a Marionette, a yard high, to have the strength to carry me on his shoulders and swim?’’
‘’Try it and see! And in any case, if it is written that we must die, we shall at least die together.’’ Not adding another word, Pinocchio took the candle in his hand and going ahead to light the way, he said to his father: ‘’Follow me and have no fear.’’
