If I was developing a mocking framework, I'd rely on some classic
Unit Testing/Mocking examples to support the motivation,
like those about logging or sending e-mail.
Simply, I'd translate Roy Osherove's introductory examples:

Those are so well known within testing community,
they are almost idiomatic, hence best for selling a framework.

Best regards,
