Go read it. It's the famed Chinese story's Sidney Shapiro translation in a textual Let's Read of sort. The full story is Water Margin or Outlaws of the Marsh. In French it's Au bord de l'eau, which doesn't sound very impressive.
Note: To clarify, the Chinese believed that one of the moves of a tiger is to hit with its tail like a whip. Yes, like the Pokemon move Iron Tail, but long before the game was made.
The full book was written/recorded in a way that it's best to read one chapter at time at an audience. If the wikisource version is to be believed, instead of inciting the reader to read the next chapter like the English version says, it actually said to listen to the next chapter. So reading/listening to a story was a social event in China before? That sounds pretty awesome.
