Acid spitting snake

One hot summer day, Max and Kevin headed to Dr. Sam's office. "Dr. Sam, could you please take a look at this weired creature and let us know what it is?" said Kevin holding a jar with a moving creature inside it. Dr. Sam adjusted his glasses and sipped the water from his mug. Dr. Sam after a pause replied, "this is a rare snake which spits acid and eats Mongooses". He then paused again and after examining it for a while he said, "look at this red spot in between the eyelids. If a single water droplet touches this redspot then this snake will turn into a maneater".
Just then, Dr. Sam looked at the clock, "oh! my favourite video should have started now". As he switched on the Television, Dr. Sam saw the flash new where it said, the dam nearby started leaking and by night it is going to flood. Everyone in the room gulped. Kevin said, "ttt...oo....nnn....tonight?!" Dr. Sam, Kevin and Max ran out of the room leaving the jar behind. However, the snake managed to escape from the jar by slamming its nose on the jar and by breaking it. By the time, many people in the neighbourhood were in the BART station to move to a different location. A few people were able to board the plane while few others were heading to the neighbouring state while few others moved to other cities nearby in their car. Not even, a single creature were left behind except for the acid spitting snake at Dr. Sam's office.
The Acid spitting snake as soon as it came out of the jar it gave birth to 3 baby snakes. Just then, the dam broke and water gushed through Dr. Sam's office and covered the snakes. A magical scene took place, the mother snake and the baby snakes all started growing immediately. They grew up to 160 feet. Soon, they were all very hungry and craved to eat their favourite food the Mongoose. They searched everywhere and couldn't find a single mongoose or any other living beings.
Meanwhile, Kevin who was in the train said, "Oh! no I left Velma inside Dr. Sam's office". "Who is Velma?" asked the other two. "Velma is the acid spitting snake. I named her so!" They happened to see lot of Mongooses outside on the other side of track. Meanwhile, furious Velma and her babies had slithered all the way and spot these Mongoose. Velma and babies happily spitted out the acid from the fangs and it fell on a carriage which immediately got burnt up. As and when Velma and her babies slithered they pushed some of the carriages on which some of the people got badly injured but none died. Velma and her new born babies feasted on the Mongooses. Everyone except Dr. Sam, Kevin and Max ran away to save their lives. Kevin said, "why are we hiding here?" Sam said, "because, these kind of snakes have poor vision. They can only see straight and not side ways". Just then, one of the baby snake spotted Kevin and greedily opened its mouth and was about to gobble him up , while Sam started to cry as his brother's life was at stake. Kevin started to scream and both the brothers woke up from their sleep and said "what a terrible nightmare I had !"
Kevin asked Sam, "did you too have the Acid spitting snake dream ?" Sam said "yes" and they discussed about their dream and it was just one and the same dream they had. They had watched a terrible TV show the previous night which resulted in the terrible nightmare.
