A character in a popular German legend, who possessed a purse out of which he was able to provide himself with money as often as he needed it and cap , by putting on of which, and wishing to be anywhere, he was straightway there; these he got, by his own free election and choice, conceded to him by the Upper Powers, and they proved a curse to him rather than a blessing, he finding out when too late that "the god Wish is not the true God."
