using indexof to remove first two words of string

my code words but its ugly;

Code:

---

string word = "Hello World donkey kong";
            if (word.Length > 0)
            {
                int i = word.IndexOf(" ") + 1;
                string str = word.Substring(i);
                int j = str.IndexOf(" ") + 1;
                string str_2 = str.Substring(j);
                Console.WriteLine(str_2);
            }

it prints "donkey kong" to the console screen which is what i want. can you show me the correct way to do this with cleaner code because this is really hairy right now.

I don't use C#, but an improvement I can think of is to define a function that takes a string and how many words you want it to skip, skip them in a loop using that or any other method and return the result.

What about this? Looks more verbose but because of the error checking, however doesn't create a useless string str.

Code:

---

static void Main (string[] args)
{
    string word = "Hello World donkey kong";

    int firstPos = word.IndexOf(' ');
    if (firstPos > -1 && firstPos < word.Length - 1)
    {
        int secondPos = word.IndexOf(' ', firstPos + 1);
        if (secondPos > -1 &&  secondPos < word.Length - 1)
            word = word.Substring(secondPos + 1);
    }

    Console.WriteLine(word);
}
