A broken tripod can still be used.
The tripod is a must-have item for every household. It is used for cooking food. If it is worn out over time, it still has a use.
Although the tripod is broken, many people now use it as a container to offer sacrifices to gods. They use it to burn incense and paper money during every festival or new year.
So even if the tripod is broken, it still has a use.
