Tautology

saying or stating the same or identical thing or idea twice, reduntantly 
(unnecessary repetition)

The second son (who was the latter-born and younger of the pair and of the two of them) spoke to and conversed with his male parent, his dad, the farmer who grew crops on his arable land and raised animals and livestock. ‘Give me and allow me to receive from you my share and portion of the inheritance that I myself get when you die and croak also.’
         
The paternal father concurred and agreed and gave him the cash and the money, and the boy and son went away and left. The youngster and offspring spent all he had and everything in wasteful and prodigal living and he was both broke and penniless when his cash ran out and was all gone and every coin had been frittered and deep fried in batter and breadcrumbs and crusty detritus.
         
The country and the geo-political state became ravaged and spoiled with famine and starvation. The son tended and looked after pigs and hogs. He wanted to eat the pods, while at the same time and simultaneously desired to consume the vegetable matter the porcine animals had been given and wanted and desired to eat and consume their food and pods.
         
Finally, at the end, he came to his senses and had a revelation from the Lord and from heaven above, where dwell angels and cherubs and wingéd messengers, and other beings of a spiritual, non-corporeal kind.
         
He said to himself, thinking ‘I shall get up and arise and go back to my father the farmer and Dad the agrarian practictioner and tell him and explain I am no longer worthy and have ceased to deserve to be called his son and I shouldn’t bear his name anymore, either, as well, in addition, too.’
       
But and however, while he was still a long way off, quite remote from the farm, his father saw him from his observation point – yes, his dad spotted him when gazing from the roof of the house, which was the place from which he had been looking into the distance, which was exactly the place the son had been when first he was espied by this paternal spectator.
       
He ran and hurried to the boy, embraced him, hugged him, gave him and bestowed upon him a ring and golden finger jewellery, a coat and a jacket, a left shoe and a right shoe and footwear and gave instructions and arranged for the calf to be killed and slaughtered and dispatched and cooked and roasted and dished up on plates, and for some barbequed beef to be served and distributed by waitresses and dinnerladies.
       
He threw a shindig, and everyone partied, with dancing and jiving to music and tunes.
       
Proclaimed and declared the older man and male human of greater years ‘My boy and son was undiscovered and lost, but now he is restored to his rightful place and found. The fruit of my loin and my offspring was dead and passed away, but now he’s alive and animate! I (yes, your current interlocutor) was mourning and grieving his passing, but he – this child and issue of mine – has been restored and given back to me and into my care!’ Dad and father said and announced.
