By this time the witch was just at their heels, but the princess stood in the window and blew upon the witch; hundreds of white doves flew out of her mouth, fluttered and flapped around the witch’s head until she grew so angry that she turned into flint, and there she stands to this day, in the shape of a large flint stone, outside the window.

Who acts: witch, princess, hundreds · What happens: be, stand, blow, fly out, flutter, flap · To what, where: heels, window, mouth, head, flint, shape
