Amanda Weldon: 我讲述了一个关于居住在世界之树Yggdrasil上的神圣松鼠Ratatoskr的故事。Ratatoskr的任务是作为神明之间的信使，在树顶的大鹰和树根的大蛇Nidhogg之间传递消息。然而，Ratatoskr却是一个顽皮的松鼠，他经常忘记传递信息，并喜欢捉弄大鹰和巨蛇。故事中，Ratatoskr因为没有认真完成送信任务而险些被大鹰和巨蛇吃掉，最后在奥丁的干预下才得以幸免。这个故事展现了Ratatoskr的顽皮性格以及他与大鹰和巨蛇之间的互动，也体现了北欧神话中一些神灵和生物的特点。 故事中，Ratatoskr的形象生动有趣，他既是神圣的信使，也是一个顽皮的恶作剧者。他的行为虽然有时会造成麻烦，但也为故事增添了趣味性。大鹰和巨蛇的形象也刻画得十分鲜明，它们代表着不同的力量和性格。奥丁的出现则为故事带来了转折，他既惩罚了Ratatoskr的错误，也展现了他的慈悲和智慧。 总的来说，这个故事是一个充满趣味和想象力的北欧神话改编，它不仅讲述了一个有趣的故事，也向听众展现了北欧神话中一些重要的元素和人物。
