"Casual Leave" joke

A newly-employed villager was very weak in English. Once he asked his more educated neighbour to draft an application asking for casual leave for a day as he was down with fever.
The neighbour dictated the application in the following words: "Respected Sir - As I am suffering from fever, I may kindly be granted casual leave for today."
He kept a copy of this application for subsequent use. Later, on the eve of his sister's marriage, he wrote an application on his own. It read as follows: "Respected Sir -As I am suffering from my sister's marriage tomorrow, kindly grant me casual leave for the next two days."
