When Holden talks to the cab driver Horwitz, asking him what happens to the ducks in Central Park when the lake freezes over, Horwitz gets mad at Holden for asking stupid questions.

This question is a metaphor for Holden's life after he's on his own and no one is there to take care of him.

"The cab I had was a really old one that smelled like someone'd just tossed his cookies in it. I always get those vomity kind of cabs if I go anywhere late at night." - Holden Caulfield, Page 81, Chapter 12 of The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger
