A case study of two documents for each party in the context of, for example, the sale of a field -- where two copies increases the risk of fraudulent practices, even though it sounds like a logical plan.

Also, a story of one who appoints an agent to purchase land - and then the agent does so, but without a guarantee, which was clearly not the intent.
