Musar for Chagigah 29:7

אמר הואיל ואיטריד ההוא גברא מההוא עלמא ליפוק ליתהני בהאי עלמא נפק אחר לתרבות רעה נפק אשכח זונה תבעה אמרה ליה ולאו אלישע בן אבויה את עקר פוגלא ממישרא בשבת ויהב לה אמרה אחר הוא

He said, "Seeing as that man (ie. himself) was banished from the World [to Come], he should go and enjoy himself in this world." Acher became ill-cultured. He went and found a harlot, and asked [to have intercourse with] her. She said to him, "And are you not Elisha the son of Avuyah?" He uprooted a radish from a patch on Shabbat and gave it to her. She said, "He is another (heb. Acher)."
