"Suffering from fever" 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 only."
He kept a copy of his 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."
