Tonight Askasleikir (Bowl Licker), the 6th of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He likes to hide under beds and steal used bowls to lick them clean.
Children leave their shoes out in the window for him, he gives the good ones a small gift or a treat, the bad ones get a potato.

Heute kommt schon Bruder sechs
Und auch hier bleibt nicht ein Klecks
Wenn Askasleikir ausgeleckt
Was noch in der Schüssel steckt
Denn auch ihn plagt Appetit
Den er bringt aus Höhle mit

The 6th Yule Lad will be arriving from the mountains tonight. We welcome Askasleikir, or Bowl Licker.
He hides under beds and waits for you to put your wooden bowl (called an askur) on the floor from your midnight snack. This one always makes me question the eating habits of old-timey Icelanders.

Tonight, Askasleikir arrives:
Bowl Licker, the sixth one,
was shockingly ill bred.
From underneath the bedsteads
he stuck his ugly head.
And when the bowls were left
to be licked by dog or cat,
he snatched them for himself
- he was sure good at that!

Child is back with his mom so I forgot about these guys today. Last night, Askasleikir, came. He's also known as Bowl Licker, because they used to have these wooden bowls that they put food in, like leftovers. This guy tried to lick those bowls.
