"The Old Woman in the Wood" by the Brothers Grimm in the latter part of the 19th century!!
A brief synopsis speaks about a young servant girl while traveling with her "family" was robbed and she got away and ran into a forest where she was all alone as all of the others were killed!! While lost in the forest in tattered clothing, no food and no place to rest, a dove appeared with several keys on different occasions each opening locks on trees to fulfill her needs of food, rest, and new clothing!! Later on, the dove finally asked a favor from her in return for it's help which led her to go visit an old woman who lived in the forest!! The dove instructed her to go into the old woman's house and when greeted, she was to ignore the woman and go past her to a table where laid many fancy rings, and to find the only one that was plain and bring it back with her!! She agreed to the dove's request and when she went in to find the ring ... the old woman first tried to stop her from looking through the rings and then grabbed a birdcage and tried to escape with it as inside was a bird which had that plain ring in it's beak!! The girl got the ring from the bird and ran back into the forest as instructed by the dove, but it was nowhere to be found!! In despair, she leaned up against a tree waiting for the dove when the tree that she was against basically started taking on the form of a handsome prince with arms coming down around her!! He then spoke to her saying that he took on the form of that dove for two hours a day and the old woman was a witch who put a curse on him and his men turning them all into trees!! Later on ... they all took shape again as the curse was broken by the returning of the ring and they all left the forest to go to the prince's kingdom where he and the girl were later married and lived happily ever after!!
