The Wandering Earth

by Liu Cixin

‘Oh, God, for you thousands of years are just a brief moment!’ God answered, ‘Indeed, they are just a second to me.’ ‘Oh, God, for you vast riches are just small change!’ God answered, ‘Just a nickel.’ ‘Oh, God, please spare me a nickel!’ To which God then answered, ‘Certainly. Just give me a second.’
