The blade was no ordinary blade. Cutting iron was as easy as chopping wood.
The ones holding this blade were not just anybody. There were three heroes: Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, and Zhang Bao. Folks called them Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard, or the Beast Brothers. These three were famous for being strong, clever, and brave. When they joined hands, nothing could stop them.
That night, wind howled, rain smashed the ground. The three brothers stood together, waiting. The fiercest enemy arrived, but not one of them flinched. Who that enemy was, nobody remembers now. What everyone remembers is, after that night, the Big Foot Fort was gone, and Tiger Fort stood tall.
Why call it Tiger Fort? Easy. Zhang Hu, the Tiger, said, "Let's use Tiger Fort." Long, the Dragon, agreed straight away. Bao, the Leopard, wanted his own name, but two votes beat one. That's how real heroes make decisions—straight and fair.
