Prodigal + Nosebleed

Define: Prodigal - adj., 1. wastefully extravagant 2. having or giving on a lavish scale

I think I really misunderstood the story. How I remember the story:
Two brothers, they grow up, one stays on the farm and everything sucks. The other is like see ya! I’m going to spend the wealth of our family. Then the cool brother returns and is like hey it’s been years and I’m back! The dad is elated, tells the at home brother to slay the fattest calf, they’re eating good tonight. At home brother is like what the hell I’m so under appreciated and I’m upset. Pop-pop is like no, no at home brother, we must rejoice because your really cool brother is back.

Seems like the cool brother got the waaay sweeter end of the deal here. Living lavish and in wealth and not on a farm with his parents and then also getting a party thrown for him. I’m honestly confused on what the take away here is.

I’m still very sick, every thought is too big for my stuffy head. The house is so dry if I blow my nose the tissue is mostly blood. I’ve always had a senstive nose though. Once in high school I told Johnny Wilson if he just flicked my nose it would bleed. He did not believe me. He did flick my nose, hard. My nose bled. Perhaps a wastefully extravagant display, perhaps lavishly giving a display of nasal talent, prodigal.
