    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Yng nghanol yr haf, roedd Aeron yn edrych ymlaen at daith ysgol i Eryri.
    En: In the middle of summer, Aeron was looking forward to a school trip to Eryri.

    Cy: Mae'n deimlad arbennig yn yr awyr, gyda chyffro'r haf a gobaith gwyliau.
    En: There's a special feeling in the air, with the excitement of summer and the hope of holidays.

    Cy: Ar fore braf, grŵp o blant, gyda chamerâu a bagiau llawn byrbrydau, casglwyd wrth draed y bryniau gwyrddlas.
    En: On a fine morning, a group of children, with cameras and bags full of snacks, gathered at the feet of the green hills.

    Cy: Bronwen, yr athrawes, gyda chalon mor fawr â'r mynyddoedd, dwed i'r plant am natur y lle.
    En: Bronwen, the teacher, with a heart as big as the mountains, told the children about the nature of the place.

    Cy: Yng ngolwg pob desg oedd Dylan, yn meddwl am wythnos o chwaraeon.
    En: In every eye was Dylan, thinking about a week of sports.

    Cy: Roedd Aeron eisoes wedi clywed straeon am yr aderyn barcud coch.
    En: Aeron had already heard stories about the red kite bird.

    Cy: Llythyren y dwyn ar ei freichled oedd ei hoff ddawns, wrth iddo neidio i ddawnsio rhwng cymylau'r Eryri.
    En: The letter on his bracelet was his favorite dance, as he leaped to dance between the clouds of Eryri.

    Cy: Roedd yn awyddus i anfarwoli'r aderyn ar ffilm, ond roedd problem o'i flaen.
    En: He was eager to immortalize the bird on film, but there was a problem ahead of him.

    Cy: Roedd y rheolau'n gliriach na diwrnod clir: peidiwch â gadael y grŵp.
    En: The rules were clearer than a clear day: don't leave the group.

    Cy: Ond roedd penderfyniad i wibio oddi ar y llwybr yn rhoi cyfaddawd i Aeron.
    En: But the decision to dart off the path presented Aeron with a dilemma.

    Cy: Yn ddewr, myndais ef i siarad â Bronwen.
    En: Bravely, he went to speak to Bronwen.

    Cy: "Galen ni fynd i chwilio am barcud coch?
    En: "Can we go look for a red kite?"

    Cy: " gofynnodd.
    En: he asked.

    Cy: Bu Bronwen yn pendroni am ennyd, ond ei gilydd oedd ei dysteb.
    En: Bronwen pondered for a moment, but her testimony was together.

    Cy: "Os byddwch yn aros gyda Dylan, ac yn adrodd yn ôl erbyn cinio, gallwch fynd.
    En: "If you stay with Dylan, and report back by lunch, you can go."

    Cy: "Dilynodd Dylan, wrth gwrs, a'u gwibio nhw i'r coedwig.
    En: Dylan followed, of course, and they darted into the woodland.

    Cy: Roedd yr awyr yn frith o si, a'r haul yn cyffwrdd popeth â'i las prynhawnol.
    En: The air was abuzz with whispers, and the sun touched everything with its afternoon blue.

    Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw groesi carneddau, roedd calon Aeron yn chwilbedio gydag adrenalin.
    En: As they crossed hillocks, Aeron's heart buzzed with adrenaline.

    Cy: Yna, ymddanghosodd y barcud coch!
    En: Then, the red kite appeared!

    Cy: Roedd yn hedfan uchel, yn cysgodi’r llawr.
    En: It was flying high, casting a shadow on the ground.

    Cy: Cymerodd Aeron ei gamera.
    En: Aeron took his camera.

    Cy: Clic!
    En: Click!

    Cy: Ers tan y diwrnod hwnnw, ni welodd erioed aderyn gyda chefn mor deg.
    En: Until that day, he had never seen a bird with such a fair back.

    Cy: Wedi dychwelyd, heb pryder, roedd pawb yn estyn amlwg gyda chanmoliaeth.
    En: Upon returning, without any worry, everyone extended obvious praise.

    Cy: Roedd Bronwen yn orymdaith, yn talu brid i Aeron am ei ddeallusrwydd a'i arweiniad.
    En: Bronwen was triumphant, paying tribute to Aeron for his intelligence and leadership.

    Cy: Gan sioe'r gamp fe wnaeth ei gymheiriaid edmygu Aeron.
    En: Through the showcase of the feat, his peers admired Aeron.

    Cy: Yng nghyffiniau’r prynhawn, gwellodd Aeron ei hun o blant posibl.
    En: By afternoon, Aeron saw himself better than possible.

    Cy: Llygaid yn canu gyda balchder, deallodd bellach fod rhoi cynnig ar ymdrechion newydd yn werth yr holl ymdrech.
    En: Eyes singing with pride, he now understood that trying new endeavors was worth all the effort.

    Cy: Drwy gydweithio â'i athrawes a Dylan, roedd Aeron wedi dysgu bod ffrindiau a chyfathrebu'n talu'n uchel.
    En: Through cooperating with his teacher and Dylan, Aeron had learned that friends and communication pay off greatly.

    Cy: Wrth ddwad â'r camera, drapodd y diwrnod â llun a wna arhosiad o genad.
    En: Bringing the camera, he captured the day with a photo that holds a legacy.

    Cy: Roedd yr haf yn Eryri, gyda'r bydiau holl liwiau a nodweddion, nawr yn nodwedd mewn myfyriwr ifanc wyrchwydd megis adenydd yn gwyro drwy'r awyr.
    En: The summer in Eryri, with all its colors and features, was now a hallmark in a young student's life, like wings soaring through the sky.

    Cy: "Fe fydd pob un o'r geifr fawr yn cael eu tynnu yma heddiw!
    En: "All of the big goats will be drawn here today!"

    Cy: " meddai Rhys.

    Cy: A diflannod oedd y geifr.

    En: "What do we do now?"

    Cy: Mae'n gwneud leso o'r llinyn caws, gan ysgwyd yn feddal hyd at y geifr.
    En: He makes a lasso out of the cheese string, gently waving it toward the goats.

    En: "Rhys, Eira, take care of the cheese!"

    Cy: " mae'n gweiddi.
    En: he shouts.

    Cy: Wna Rhys ac Eira y tŷr ar hyd y bwrdd, ac ail ddechrau sylw'r geifr yn ychydig.

    Cy: Gyda'i linyn caws, mae Gareth yn llwyddo i ddenu'r geifr i ffwrdd.
    En: With his cheese string, Gareth manages to lure the goats away.

    Cy: Y tro hwn, nid yw'n rhedeg i ffwrdd.
    En: This time, he's not running away.

    Cy: Mae'n deall na ellir byth perffaith ond gall wneud ei orau o hyd.
    En: He understands that perfection isn't possible, but he can still do his best.

    Cy: Yn gorff y geifr, tra bod yr arholwyr cychwyn ymgais.
    En: Amidst the goats, while the examiners begin the contest.

    Cy: Pan ddaw'r rownd derfynol, mae Gareth yn sefyll gyda Eira a Rhys wrth ei ochr.

    Cy: Mae gyda nhw y caws gorau, a llwyddo i goncro ei ofnau.
    En: They have the best cheese, and he has managed to conquer his fears.

    En: He receives a crown of cheese in front of the crowd, having not only won but also learned the value of collaboration and bravery.

    Cy: Ac wrth i'r haul gwenu ar Teml Caws Ddirgel, mae Gareth yn gwybod ei fod wedi ennill mwy nag un coron.
    En: And as the sun smiles on the Temple of Caws Ddirgel, Gareth knows he has won more than one crown.

    Cy: Mae cael wynebu ofn gyda chefnogiad ffrindiau yn gwneud unrhyw fuddugoliaeth yn melysach.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Yn nghanol haf, roedd Emrys, Delyth, a Gareth ar eu taith trwy'r mynyddoedd yng nghalon Eryri.
    En: In the middle of summer, Emrys, Delyth, and Gareth were on their journey through the mountains in the heart of Eryri.

    Cy: Roedd yn ddiwrnod clir, ond roedd y teimlad yn drwm wrth iddynt gofio eu tad a gollwyd yn ddiweddar.
    En: It was a clear day, but the feeling was heavy as they remembered their recently lost father.

    Cy: Roedd eu hanes gyda'u tad yn gorwedd ar y llwybr hwn, yng nghysgod y teml guddiedig.
    En: Their history with their father lay on this path, in the shadow of the hidden temple.

    Cy: "Byddwn yn cadw at y llwybr hirach," meddai Emrys, yn arwain ymlaen â’i synnwyr arferol o benderfyniad.
    En: "We'll stick to the longer path," said Emrys, leading onward with his usual sense of determination.

    Cy: Roedd Delyth yn siarad yn dawel, "Ond roedd ein tad wastad yn sôn am harddwch y llwybr byr, llonydd hefyd."
    En: Delyth spoke quietly, "But our father always mentioned the beauty of the shorter, peaceful path."

    Cy: Roedd Gareth yn edrych rhwng ei ddau frawd a chwaer, teimlad o anobaith yn llenwi ei galon.
    En: Gareth looked between his brother and sister, a feeling of despair filling his heart.

    Cy: Roedd eisiau cysylltu â'u tad am y tro olaf, ac felly roedd y llwybr byr yn medru rhoi’r math ysbrydoldeb hwnnw iddynt.
    En: He wanted to connect with their father one last time, and so the shorter path might offer them that spirituality.

    Cy: "Rydych chi'n gwybod beth, gadewch inni fynd â llwybr ein tad," meddai Gareth o'r diwedd, gan ymuno â dymuniad Delyth.
    En: "You know what, let's take our father's path," Gareth finally said, joining in Delyth's wish.

    Cy: Roedd Emrys yn edrych arno fe am eiliad, yna chwarddodd yn feddal, "Iawn, rhaid inni fynd â golau ar ein traed."
    En: Emrys looked at him for a moment, then laughed softly, "Alright, we must tread lightly."

    Cy: Gyda llawenydd cymysgedig â gwg fach, roedd y tri yn cychwyn ar eu llwybr, bac ardderchog y bryniau yn cilio i'w holiodd graddol.
    En: With joy mixed with a small scowl, the three set off on their path, the magnificent backdrop of the hills gradually receding behind them.

    Cy: Daethant at y teml guddiedig erbyn hwyr, pan oedd yr haul yn dechrau suddo, ei belydrau olaf yn dawnsio ar y cerrig hanner canrif oed.
    En: They arrived at the hidden temple by evening, as the sun began to set, its last rays dancing on the fifty-year-old stones.

    Cy: Roedd y lle'n dawel, bron yn ysbrydol, â golygfa hollol anhygoel dros y dyffrynnoedd islaw.
    En: The place was quiet, almost spiritual, with a completely incredible view over the valleys below.

    Cy: Ac yna, roedd anadl oer y tymestl yn dechrau dod i'r awyr, ond mynodd Delyth, "Rhaid inni gyflawni hyn nawr, ni allwn ddychwelyd yma eto."
    En: And then, a cold breath of the storm began to come into the air, but Delyth insisted, "We must complete this now; we can't return here again."

    Cy: Gyda pharch a dwyster, taflwyd lludw eu tad gan ddechreuwyr y gwynt.
    En: With respect and intensity, their father’s ashes were cast to the beginner's wind.

    Cy: Roedd y glaw yn dechrau syrthio fel pe theimladau'r haul, gan droi'r eiliad yn un o gau; gyda gwerthfawrogiad dweud "anffodus ond perffaith."
    En: The rain began to fall as if it shared the sun's emotions, turning the moment into one of closure; with an appreciative remark, "unfortunate but perfect."

    Cy: Pan gawsant loches mewn cysgod dan y briddellwch y teml, roedd y glaw yn fud a chlywed storïau am eu tad yn rhodd.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Ar ddiwrnod braf o haf, roedd yr haul yn tywynnu dros Barc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog.
    En: On a fine summer day, the sun was shining over Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog.

    Cy: Roedd Emrys a Carys yn cerdded i mewn i'r siop offer dringo hirddisgwyliedig.
    En: Emrys and Carys walked into the long-awaited climbing gear shop.

    Cy: Cefn eu bysedd am eu cyffro i'r antur oedd o flaen nhw.
    En: Their hearts were full of excitement for the adventure that lay ahead.

    Cy: Roedd Emrys yn edrych allan yn fwriadu ei lwybrau newydd gydag angerdd ac awydd di-ddiwedd.
    En: Emrys was looking forward to mapping out new routes with passion and endless eagerness.

    Cy: "Mae angen y gêr gorau arnaf," meddai Emrys, yn llygaid sgleiniog.
    En: "I need the best gear," said Emrys, with shining eyes.

    Cy: "Drwy hyfforddiad priodol, nid oes unrhyw lwybr y gellir ei orchfygu."
    En: "With proper training, there's no path that can't be conquered."

    Cy: Ond roedd Carys, ei ffrind gofalgar a doeth, yn edrych ar bethau yn ofalus.
    En: But Carys, his caring and wise friend, was approaching things cautiously.

    Cy: "Mae gennym gyllideb, Emrys. Gadewch i ni fod yn ymarferol."
    En: "We have a budget, Emrys. Let's be practical."

    Cy: Dyma nhw'n cymryd eu tro yn gwylio'r silffoedd llawn o gôtiau a esgidiau wrth gerdded lawr y grisiau pren.
    En: They took their time watching the shelves full of coats and shoes as they walked down the wooden stairs.

    Cy: Y lle hwn yn llawn gwyliadau, pwysau golau.
    En: This place was full of sights, light pressure.

    Cy: Y tirlun y tu allan yn ymestyn i ffwrdd yn ysblennydd.
    En: The landscape outside stretched away stunningly.

    Cy: Taflai Emrys ei lygaid dros gôt wellt nodweddion arbennig a thag radical.
    En: Emrys cast his eyes over a feature-rich, radically tagged high-end coat.

    Cy: "Mae'r gôt hwn yn anhygoel!" meddai, bron â'i feddwl ei fod eisoes wedi prynu.
    En: "This coat is amazing!" he exclaimed, almost as if he had already bought it.

    Cy: "Bydd yn fy nghadw'n sych beth bynnag y tywydd."
    En: "It will keep me dry no matter the weather."

    Cy: Ond roedd Carys wedi darganfod côt tebyg, llai drud a chyda nodweddion ymarferol tebyg.
    En: But Carys had found a similar coat, less expensive and with similar practical features.

    Cy: "Emrys, edrychwch ar hwn. Mae'n hanner y pris," gwthiodd Carys, gyda sicrwydd doeth.
    En: "Emrys, look at this one. It's half the price," nudged Carys, with wise assurance.

    Cy: "A dyna fydd yn helpu ni gyda'n stoc o fwyd a pharo."
    En: "And that will help us with stocking food and supplies."

    Cy: Rhoddodd Emrys amrantiad hir ar y gôt ffansi, wedyn at y llonydd a di-sylw Carys.
    En: Emrys gave a long glance at the fancy coat, then to the calm and unassuming Carys.

    Cy: Roedd ei ffrind yn iawn; roedd y llwybrau yn her eu hunain.
    En: His friend was right; the paths were a challenge on their own.

    Cy: Nid oedd yn ymwneud â chael yr offer gorau posib, ond yr offer iawn, a bod yn ddiogel a pharod.
    En: It wasn't about having the best possible equipment, but the right equipment, and being safe and prepared.

    Cy: Roedd yn disgleirio mewn poeni llenllawn, arfwisgo'i frwdfrydedd gyda doethineb yn ei le.
    En: He glowed in thoughtful concern, cloaking his enthusiasm with wisdom in its place.

    Cy: Yn y diwedd, gwnaethant benderfynu ar gôt a dewis offer a fyddai'n arferol ond yn ddigonol i'w hangorfyn.
    En: In the end, they decided on a coat and chose equipment that would be practical yet adequate for their needs.

    Cy: Roeddent hefyd yn llwyddo i gadw o fewn eu cyllideb.
    En: They also managed to stay within their budget.

    Cy: Ar ôl gadael y siop, teimlodd Emrys ddiolchgarwch tuag at Carys.
    En: After leaving the shop, Emrys felt grateful towards Carys.

    Cy: "Rydych chi wedi fy nysgu gwers bwysig heddiw," cyfaddefodd Emrys, gwên ar ei wyneb.
    En: "You've taught me an important lesson today," admitted Emrys, with a smile on his face.

    Cy: "Mae'n bwysig gwrando ar gyngor da."
    En: "Listening to good advice is important."

    Cy: "Mae tîm yn fwy na'i rhannau," ehangodd Carys.
    En: "A team is more than the sum of its parts," Carys expanded.

    Cy: Roeddent ystyriol, ymdrechion wedi'u cyfuno, yn bwrw lan i'r awyr o flaen eu taith i ganol y Bannau.
    En: They were thoughtful, with combined efforts, rising up to meet the journey ahead in the heart of the Bannau.

    Cy: Roedd y diwrnod yn llachar ac addawol, addawyd llawer o gamau newydd a chymraphau hardd wrth iddo fynd i mewn i lyfrgell ffrwythau natur yr haf.
    En: The day was bright and promising, many new steps and beautiful encounters promised as they ventured into the summer's natural library of fruits.

    Cy: Roedd antur yn sicr o sicrhau, a'u parotoadau yn arfau gwerthfawr mewn llaw, cario hyder a gwersi dysgedig ymlaen.
    En: Adventure was certainly secured, and their preparations were valuable tools in hand, carrying confidence and learned lessons forward.
