Answer: stank

The word "stank" makes this statement into a pun. The pun relies on the similarities between the verb "stank" (from stink) and "sank" (to sink). As the skunk fell in the pond, what would be expected is for the author to say that it sank. However, he uses "stank" as a reference to the bad smell of skunks.
