NORWEGIAN:

Ratatosk er ifølge norrøn mytologi et ekorn som holder til i livstreet Yggdrasil. Der bringer det nyheter og sladder mellom ørnen Vidofnir, som sitter i toppen av Yggdrasil, og ormen Nidhogg som ligger og gnager på roten.

I Grimnesmål, vers 32, er Ratatosk omtalt:
Ratatoskr heitir ikorni,
er renna skal at aski Yggdrasils;
arnar orð hann skal ofan bera ok segia Niðhöggvi niðr.

ENGLISH:

"Ratatosk" was, according to Norse mythology, a squirrel that lived in the tree of life: "Yggdrasil". The squirrel brought gossip and news from the snake "Nidhogg" that ate the root of the tree to the eagle "Vidofnir" that rule from the top of the tree.

The verse from "Grimnesmål" (The Grimnes tale) describing Ratatosken:
Ratatoskr heitir ikorni,
er renna skal at aski Yggdrasils;
arnar orð hann skal ofan bera ok segia Niðhöggvi niðr.
