bustling sky of Caerdydd, warming the activity at Maes Awyr Rhyngwladol Caerdydd.Cy: Roedd Carys, gyda'i bag llaw yn llawn o bopeth ond anrheg arbennig, yn edrych yn bryderus ar ei oriawr.En: Carys, with her handbag full of everything but the special gift, anxiously checked her watch.Cy: Roedd Dydd Santes Dwynwen ar y gorwel, ac roedd rhaid iddi ddod o hyd i'r anrheg berffaith i Gethin cyn iddo fod yn rhy hwyr.En: Dydd Santes Dwynwen was on the horizon, and she had to find the perfect gift for Gethin before it was too late.Cy: Wrth iddi symud rhwng y siopau heb llawer o lwyddiant, digwyddodd Carys gweld Eleri.En: As she moved between the shops without much success, Carys happened to see Eleri.Cy: Roedd Eleri bob amser yn rhywun a oedd yn gallu ffeindio rhywbeth anarferol, ac felly dyma Carys yn gwneud ei ffordd at ei chyfaill, gobeithio amdano fo yn arbenigwr sy'n gallu achub y dydd.En: Eleri was always someone who could find something unusual, so Carys made her way to her friend, hoping for the expertise that could save the day.Cy: "Eleri!En: "Eleri!"Cy: " galwodd Carys, gydag ychydig o anobaith yn ei llais.En: called Carys, with a hint of desperation in her voice.Cy: "Dwi angen cymorth.En: "I need help.Cy: Mae'n rhaid i fi ffeindio anrheg i Gethin.En: I have to find a gift for Gethin...Cy: nawr!En: now!"Cy: "Gwenodd Eleri, yn llawn o antur.En: Eleri smiled, full of adventure.Cy: "Peidiwch â phoeni, Carys.En: "Don't worry, Carys.Cy: Rydyn ni'n dod o hyd i rywbeth gwych," meddyliodd hi yn swnllyd ac yn gwneud ei ffordd i mewn i'r dorf.En: We'll find something great," she thought aloud, making her way into the crowd.Cy: Roedd y siop di-dreth yn frith o bobl ac ychydig iawn o bethau ar gael.En: The duty-free shop was teeming with people and had very few items available.Cy: Ond roedd Eleri'n canfod tegannau bach, addurniadau ac eitemau lleol.En: But Eleri discovered small toys, decorations, and local items.Cy: "Sut mae amseminau meddyliol Gower?En: "How about Gower herbal infusions?"Cy: " awgrymodd Eleri, dan gwen droednostig.En: Eleri suggested, with a wry smile.Cy: Carys sigodd ei phen.En: Carys shook her head.Cy: "Dwi eisiau rhywbeth mwy personol.En: "I want something more personal.Cy: Rhywbeth sy'n golygu rhywbeth i'r ddau.En: Something that means something to both of us."Cy: "Wrth iddyn nhw symud yn gyflym drwy'r siop, golau disglair o liw pinc a oren bach wnaeth dal sylw Carys.En: As they quickly moved through the shop, a bright light of pink and small orange caught Carys' attention.Cy: Roedd yn got gwirion o gangenau coed byw a seren fach ar y brig, wedi'i wneud o wydr ac wedi addurno'n berffaith.En: It was a peculiar coat of living tree branches with a small star at the top, made of glass and perfectly adorned.Cy: "Beth yw hwn?En: "What is this?"Cy: " gofynnodd Carys, a'i llygad yn denu at yr eitem anarferol.En: asked Carys, her eye drawn to the unusual item.Cy: "Mae hwn yn addurn Castell Caerffili," dywedodd Eleri.En: "This is a Castell Caerffili decoration," said Eleri.Cy: "Mae ei siap yn unigryw.En: "Its shape is unique.Cy: Gofynnodd Carys i chwerthin.En: Carys laughed.Cy: Mae'n sefyll yma ers blynyddoedd, ac mae'n arferedd i chi deimlo eu heffaith hudol.En: It has stood here for years, and it’s customary for you to feel its magical effect."Cy: "Gyda'r amser yn rhedeg allan ac yr alwad olaf yn cael ei wneud ar gyfer eu hediad, bu'n rhaid i Carys wneud dewis.En: With time running out and the final call being made for their flight, Carys had to make a choice.Cy: Roedd y perffaith duedd iddi ddewis addurn Castell Caerffili, yn well na'r anrheg generig arferol.En: The perfect inclination was to choose the Castell Caerffili decoration, better than the usual generic gift.Cy: Yna, wrth iddyn nhw fynd tuag at y giât fwrdd, gwnaed y penderfyniad.En: Then, as they headed towards the boarding gate, the decision was made.Cy: Roedd wedi bod yn hoff o'r castell, a buont yn ymweld â'r lle yn ystod eu hanturiaethau cyntaf gyda'i gilydd.En: They had loved the castle, and had visited the place during their early adventures together.Cy: Roedd yr addurn yn cynrychioli atgofion hapus a hiraeth, un o hen eiliadau.En: The decoration represented happy memories and nostalgia, a remnant of old moments.Cy: Ar ôl cyrraedd y giât, rhoddodd Carys yr anrheg i Gethin.En: After reaching the gate, Carys gave the gift to Gethin.Cy: "Dwi ddim yn siŵr sut deimlo'r castell," dywedodd hi, gan edrych arno gydag ychydig o bryder.En: "I'm not sure how the castle feels," she said, looking at him with a touch of concern.Cy: Ond astudiodd Gethin yr eitem, a gwelodd yr ystyr dwfn y tu ôl iddo.En: But Gethin studied the item and saw the deep meaning behind it.Cy: "Mae'n berffaith, Carys.En: "It's perfect, Carys.Cy: Mae'n ddarn bach o'n hanturiaethau ni," meddai, gan ei drwyddo gyda chalon gynhesog.En: It's a little piece of our adventures," he said, embracing it with a warm heart.Cy: Roedd jejus o ansawdd unigryw.En: It was a piece of unique quality.Cy: Dim ond am funud, cael ei ddal mewn eiliad na fyddai'n hawdd ei cholli, sylweddolodd Carys bod yr ystyr gwir yn wastad y tu mewn.En: For just a moment, captured in a moment not easily lost, Carys realized that true meaning was always inside.Cy: Roedd hi wedi dysgu y byddai'r meddwl, nid mantais, bob amser yn cynnwys gem gyfrinachol.En: She had learned that sentiment, not advantage, always contained the secret gem.Cy: Ac wrth iddynt gamu ar yr awyren, roedd y goleuon addurnol braf ar y flwyddyn newydd eisoes yn llosgi taf a'i lannau atgenhedlu newydd.En: And as they stepped onto the plane, the beautiful decorative lights for the new year were already casting light on new beginnings.

wyntoedd rhewllyd a'r ddaear yn gaeaf prydferth o wyn.En: Winter had arrived with its icy winds and the land lay under a beautiful blanket of white.Cy: Yn y pentref hwn, roedd cyffro yn codi ymysg yr hen goed a'r bythynnod â'u toeau gwellt.En: In this village, excitement was rising among the old trees and the cottages with their thatched roofs.Cy: Roedd y Gŵyl Gaeafddydd, yr ŵyl bwerus sy'n dathlu troad y flwyddyn, yn agosáu.En: The "Gŵyl Gaeafddydd", the powerful festival celebrating the turn of the year, was approaching.Cy: Roedd Eira'n sefyll wrth ymyl ei chartref, ei llygaid yn llawn uchelgais.En: Eira stood by her home, her eyes full of ambition.Cy: Doedd hi erioed wedi cymryd rhan bwysig yn y dathliadau o'r blaen.En: She had never played an important role in the celebrations before.Cy: Ond eleni, roedd hi'n benderfynol o wneud rhywbeth arbennig.En: But this year, she was determined to do something special.Cy: Gwyddai Eira fod angen canolbwynt trawiadol ar y pentref ar gyfer yr ŵyl.En: Eira knew the village needed a striking centerpiece for the festival.Cy: Yn dal heb sgiliau profiadol, roedd hi'n awyddus i wneud ei marc.En: Still without experienced skills, she was eager to make her mark.Cy: "Beth am adael hyn i'r rhai sy'n gwybod fwy, Eira?En: "Why not leave this to those who know more, Eira?"Cy: " meddai Glyndwr, ei frawd hŷn, herfeiddiol ond ychydig yn bryderus.En: said Glyndwr, her older brother, challenging yet slightly concerned.Cy: Roedd ei llais fel cerddoriaeth gyfarwydd, yn cynnig cysur ond hefyd yn adleisio cysgodion amheuaeth.En: His voice was like familiar music, offering comfort but also echoing shadows of doubt.Cy: "Mae'n amser imi brofi fy hun, Glyndwr," atebodd Eira, gan gafael yn gadarn yn ei syniadau.En: "It's time for me to prove myself, Glyndwr," replied Eira, holding firmly to her ideas.Cy: Er i amheuon Glyndwr aros, penderfynodd Eira ymweld â Carys, yr hen ddoeth o'r pentref.En: Despite Glyndwr's doubts, Eira decided to visit Carys, the wise elder of the village.Cy: Roedd Carys yn fenyw feddylgar, ei gwybodaeth am draddodiad a chrefft yn amlwg i bawb.En: Carys was a thoughtful woman, her knowledge of tradition and craft evident to all.Cy: Atebodd Carys gri'r sefydlog ac annogol gyda gwên wylaidd.En: Carys answered the steadfast and encouraging cry with a gentle smile.Cy: "Wrth wraidd pob traddodiad, Eira, mae

heart.Cy: Nid yw bob amser yr hyn sydd i'w ddal â'r llygad sydd orau," meddai Carys â mawrion ddoethineb.En: It's not always what meets the eye that's best," Carys said with great wisdom.Cy: Gyda hyn, penderfynodd Eira defnyddio'r hyn oedd ganddi — deunyddiau anarferol fel dail a changhennau, a chalonnau cribenni a geiriau rhew.En: With this, Eira decided to use what she had—unusual materials like leaves and branches, frost-covered hearts, and icy words.Cy: Dechreuodd weithio'n ddiwyd, ei dwylo'n siarad yn dawel wrth greu.En: She began working diligently, her hands quietly speaking as she created.Cy: Ar noson y gŵyl, cododd storm fawr dros y golygfeydd eira.En: On the night of the festival, a great storm arose over the snowy scenes.Cy: Gwyntoedd cryfion a glaw trwm yn bygwth llesteirio'r paratoadau, ond yr oedd creu Eira wedi sefyll yn dyner dan y storm.En: Strong winds and heavy rain threatened to disrupt the preparations, but Eira's creation stood gently under the storm.Cy: Roedd y ddelwedd a greodd yn sgleinio'n edrych i fyny â golau'r lleuad drwy'r cymylau.En: The image she crafted shone, gazing upwards through the clouds in the moon's light.Cy: Daeth y pentrefwyr i'w gilydd ac roedd o'i amgylch gapio cymeradwyaeth.En: The villagers gathered together and circled around her creation in applause.Cy: Roedd y delwedd bendigedig, wedi'i wneud o'r llygredd a'r natur, yn sefyll yn gryf a'r llawenydd wedi gwrthbwyso'r tywydd drwg.En: The magnificent image, made from nature's offerings, stood strong, and the joy countered the bad weather.Cy: Derbyniodd Eira sylw, ac yn fwy, caws rheolaeth di-ben-draw a chysylltiad newydd â'r traddodiad.En: Eira received recognition, and moreover, she gained boundless control and a new connection to tradition.Cy: O'r diwrnod hwnnw ymlaen, gwyddai Eira bod ei llwybrau'n agored o'i blaen, fe'i lloniwyd ei enaid a chryfhaodd ei penderfyniad.En: From that day forward, Eira knew her paths were open ahead of her, her spirit uplifted, and her determination strengthened.Cy: Roedd hi'n deall sut i asio arloesedd gyda'r hyn a gafodd ei roi o'r gorffennol.En: She understood how to blend innovation with what had been inherited from the past.Cy: Roedd hwn yn deimlad o wir foddhad.En: It was a feeling of true fulfillment.Cy: Roedd Gŵyl Gaeafddydd yn anfarwol o'r newydd, ac Eira'n brysur wedi sefydlu ei lle newydd yn
