Good King Wenceslas looked out,
On the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,
Deep and crisp and even;
Brightly shone the moon that night,
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight,
Stamping out a message:

Suddenly the snow began to fall heavily and the first letter N soon disappeared, leaving the word SOWING.

King Wenceslas rubbed out another letter of the word in the snow and it again left a word.  He carried on taking out one letter at a time which left other, smaller words.  He did this until there was only one letter left - and this was a word too!

Which words did King Wenceslas make and what was his final word?
