Which phrase from the story contains onomatopoeia?

Then I lost my head entirely...
I cursed and spat on the ground...
We had to annoy her by whizzing a pebble into her flowers...
We crept to the edge of the bushes that bordered the narrow road...

The word "whizzing" is an onomatopoeia due to the fact that it is a word that sounds like a sound. The word "onomatopoeia" in itself comes from the Greek words "onoma", meaning name, and "poios", meaning making.
