* ''Literature/BookOfTheNewSun'': Young Severian, a newly graduated Torturer, helps a prisoner commit suicide instead of suffering the more horrifying death they were sentenced, a major transgression. The Torturers Guild can't just imprison him because [[LawfulNeutral they have no legal order to do so, and revealing to the courts that one of their members broke the law would be politically disastrous]]. Instead, the Guildmasters have Severian [[ReassignedToAntarctica take a position as Executioner in the distant city of Thrax]], expecting he will never return.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/TheBerenstainBearsBigChapterBooks'': In ''The Berenstain Bears and the Showdown at Chainsaw Gap'', after learning about the yellow popinjay from his wife, Squire Grizzly effectively has two choices -- continue with his plan to cut down Birder's Woods (which he owns) and possibly drive the species extinct, or cancel the project. He picks a third option -- cancel the plans to cut down the forest, but still go forward with Cozy Corner Cottages via ''buying'' the wood from Big Bear City Lumber Company, which will still provide plenty of work for the woodsbears.
