It was so that to the Lord God himself – call him Savoof or Jehovah, it doesn’t matter to him! The German Emperor came to the Lord God and asked, "Respond, Lord, when will my German people be happy?" “Don’t live to me,” said the German Emperor and cried. Then the King of England came and asked, “In how many years will my English people be happy?”The Lord put on his glasses and looked into the Book, “In seventy-seven years, King.” “Don’t live for me!” said the English king and cried. Then the American president came and asked about his people. “In forty-three years,” said the Lord. “Don’t live to me!” the president cried. And finally the Russian tsar himself appeared: "Say, lord, when will Russia be happy?" "Do not live me!" - said the Lord and cried with the most burning tears.
