XSLT using value-of to retrieve text from node with attribute

I am interested in retrieving foo from the following XML:

<a>
  <b>
    <c num="2">foo</c>
    <c num="3">bar</c>
  </b>
</a>

Using XSLT+XPATH, I'm attempting to do something similar to:

<xsl:value-of select="a/b/c/@num=2/current()">

But I don't think that will retrieve foo properly. Is there a better way of going about with this?

Use this:

<xsl:value-of select="/a/b/c[@num='2']" />

Complete example:

xsl:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:value-of select="/a/b/c[@num='2']" />
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<a>
  <b> 
    <c num="2">foo</c>
    <c num="3">bar</c>
  </b>
</a>
