Kill The Golden Goose Full Movie Free Download

"The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs" is one of Aesop's Fables, numbered 87 in the Perry Index, a story that also has a number of Eastern analogues. Many other stories contain geese that lay golden eggs, though certain versions change them for hens or other birds that lay golden eggs. The tale has given rise to the idiom 'killing the goose that lays the golden eggs', which refers to the short-sighted destruction of a valuable resource, or to an unprofitable action motivated by greed.
Avianus and Caxton tell different stories of a goose that lays a golden egg, where other versions have a hen,[1] as in Townsend: "A cottager and his wife had a Hen that laid a golden egg every day. They supposed that the Hen must contain a great lump of gold in its inside, and in order to get the gold they killed [her]. Having done so, they found to their surprise that the Hen differed in no respect from their other hens. The foolish pair, thus hoping to become rich all at once, deprived themselves of the gain of which they were assured day by day."[2]
The English idiom "Kill not the goose that lays the golden egg",[6] sometimes shortened to "killing the golden goose", derives from this fable. It is generally used of a short-sighted action that destroys the profitability of an asset. Caxton's version of the story has the goose's owner demand that it lay two eggs a day; when it replied that it could not, the owner killed it.[7] The same lesson is taught by Ignacy Krasicki's different fable of "The Farmer":
An Eastern analogue is found in the Suvannahamsa Jataka,[8] which appears in the fourth section of the Buddhist book of monastic discipline (Vinaya). In this the father of a poor family is reborn as a swan with golden feathers and invites them to pluck and sell a single feather from his wings to support themselves, returning occasionally to allow them another. The greedy mother of the family eventually plucks all the feathers at once, but they then turn to ordinary feathers; when the swan recovers its feathers they too are no longer gold.[9] The moral drawn there is:
North of India, in the formerly Persian territory of Sogdiana, it was the Greek version of the story that was known. Among the 8th-century murals in Panjakent, in the western Sugdh province of Tajikistan, there is a panel from room 1, sector 21, representing a series of scenes moving from right to left where it is possible to recognize the same person first in the act of checking a golden egg and later killing the animal in order to get more eggs, only to understand the stupidity of his idea at the very end of the sequence. A local version of the story still persists in the area but ends differently with the main character eventually becoming a king.[10]
The majority of illustrations of "The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs" picture the farmer despairing after discovering that he has killed the goose to no purpose. It was also one of several fables applied to political issues by the American illustrator Thomas Nast. Captioned Always killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, it appeared in Harpers Weekly for March 16, 1878.[13] There the picture of the baffled farmer, advised by a 'Communistic Statesman', referred to the rail strike of 1877. The farmer stands for the politically driven union members whose wife and children sorrow in the background.
Two postage stamps have also featured the fable. Burundi's 1987 set of children's tales uses Gustave Doré's picture of the despairing farmer holding the body of the slaughtered goose (see above).[14] The fable later appears on the 73 pence value from a Jersey set celebrating the bicentenary of Hans Christian Andersen in 2005, although "The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg" never figured among his stories.[15]
The theme of a duck, goose or hen laying a golden egg, but not the traditional plot line, was taken up in films in both the United States and Russia. In Golden Yeggs (Warner Bros, 1950) it was given cartoon treatment,[16] while it provided a comedy MacGuffin in The Million Dollar Duck (Walt Disney Productions, 1971). The Russian comedy Assia and the Hen with the Golden Eggs (Kurochka Ryaba, 1994) takes a slightly satirical look at small village jealousy in post-Soviet times.[17]
The Countryman took the eggs to market and soon began to get rich. But it was not long before he grew impatient with the Goose because she gave him only a single golden egg a day. He was not getting rich fast enough.
Then one day, after he had finished counting his money, the idea came to him that he could get all the golden eggs at once by killing the Goose and cutting it open. But when the deed was done, not a single golden egg did he find, and his precious Goose was dead.
"She's the golden goose. Why would he want her dead?" his lawyer, Michael McCarthy, said during closing arguments Wednesday, insisting his client never hired anyone to kill his wife in the winter of 2012.
The prosecution adamantly disagreed, and painted Bashara, now 56, as a lying, cheating husband who became so obsessed with his mistress that he had his wife murdered to be with her, used misfits to carry out his plot and once said, "Sometimes I think it would be cheaper to kill the (expletive)."
Those were the final words she spoke to the jury after spending nearly two hours painting Bashara as a cold-hearted philanderer who hired a mentally challenged handyman to kill his wife in 2012. Her closing statements cap a 2-month-long trial in which 70-plus witnesses testified about events leading to the death of Jane Bashara, and events that followed it.
Lindsey stressed to the jury that the only connection between Gentz and Jane Bashara was her husband. And that the only reason he killed her was because Bob Bashara paid him to do it and lured him with a Cadillac, money, even his wife's wedding ring, which she reported missing just days before her murder.
Investigators have been asking about a remark supposedly made by David Tesher about mortgage security ratings, two people said. The investigators have asked witnesses if they heard Mr. Tesher say: "Don't kill the golden goose," in reference to mortgage securities.
From the Aesop's fable The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs, in which a married couple own a goose that lays one golden egg every day. For greed, they decide to kill the goose to obtain all the gold they suppose to be inside. Once opened, the goose proves to be like any normal goose inside.
kill the goose that lays the golden eggs (third-person singular simple present kills the goose that lays the golden eggs, present participle killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, simple past and past participle killed the goose that laid the golden eggs)
Unable to wait day after day for the golden eggs, the farmer choose he will kill the goose and get them at the same time. But when he opens the goose, he finds it empty. There are no golden eggs and now there is no way to get any more. The farmer destroyed the goose that produced them.
Once retirement begins, goals usually shift to enjoying the golden eggs without harming the geese. Retirees that withdraw 4% or less from their portfolio each year are essentially collecting their golden egg daily. Additional eggs that are laid (in the form of excess returns) but not consumed are used to continue building the flock in preparation for less prosperous times.
For those in the established ministry situation, the tendency is to come in and not ruffle too many feathers. None of us want to be the guy (or girl) who comes in and just lobs a live grenade into the established ministry programming. But going the opposite way and just letting things ride could be detrimental as well. Many times, this conversation and the tension that goes with it revolves around a golden goose.
Asking those questions and answering them honestly can prove to be a real catalyst for change. It may be an immediate answer, or it could take a little bit of exploring. The key is to not be afraid to lay everything on the examination table (even the golden goose), evaluate, and weigh it against its purpose. My advice would be to do this with every single thing you do in your ministry. Do it regularly and do it with brutal honesty.
Killing the aspirational aspect of the programs will kill the programs. Providing a 1% rebate in a currency of extremely limited utility will never be enough to sway the purchasing decisions of airfare customers who have a choice. 1% fixed rebate means that every airline will need to compete based on price, service and convenience, or they will need lots and lots of corporate contracts. Delta can compete on price and service, I have no...

Delta can compete on price and service, I have no idea how AA thinks they'll compete, because the FFP was the only thing they were best at.
I really think the airlines have just about killed the programs that have been successful for so long. I absolutely understand the idea of revenue based earning, but the revenue based redemptions kill the goose.
But most folks have heard of someone who has goosed the system and done something awesome with their points, creating some perception that they have value. The programs truly need these stories, whether true or not, to continue perpetuate themselves. The way things are going, there will be fewer and fewer such stories told, and the programs will lose their allure.
