    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Roedd yr awyrgylch yn llawn cyffro yn y gymuned gaeedig yn Llandudno ar fore hydrefol clir.
    En: The atmosphere was full of excitement in the gated community in Llandudno on a clear autumn morning.

    Cy: Roedd y tai cerrig yn cael eu hamgylchynu gan ddail melyn a choch a oedd yn pefrio yn y golau haul.
    En: The stone houses were surrounded by yellow and red leaves that shimmered in the sunlight.

    Cy: Roedd y lleoliad yn berffaith ar gyfer taith arbennig i archwilio Great Orme.
    En: The setting was perfect for a special trip to explore Great Orme.

    Cy: Roedd Emrys yn dadansoddi ei gamera, yn edrych ymlaen at ddal golygfeydd ysblennydd yr hydref.
    En: Emrys was adjusting his camera, looking forward to capturing the splendid autumn scenes.

    Cy: Roedd Carys, ei gydymaith, yn tynnu unrhyw lwch y gallai eu gweld oddi ar ei mapiau.
    En: Carys, his companion, was brushing off any dust she could see from her maps.

    Cy: Roedd hi wedi cynllunio'r gweithgareddau hyd at yr eiliad olaf.
    En: She had planned the activities up to the last second.

    Cy: Dyma oedd ei ffordd hi o deimlo'n ddiogel ac yn barod, ond roedd hi'n teimlo ei bod hi angen newid.
    En: This was her way of feeling safe and ready, but she felt she needed a change.

    Cy: Roedd Emrys yn brofiadol gyda'r syniad o gynllunio, ond roedd yn aml yn teimlo bod diffyg sbontaneiddedd yn colli arddull bywyd.
    En: Emrys was experienced with the idea of planning, but often felt that a lack of spontaneity lost the essence of life.

    Cy: Gyda'r awyrgylch hydrefol yn galw, dechreuodd y ddau eu taith tuag at Great Orme.
    En: With the autumn atmosphere calling, the two began their journey towards Great Orme.

    Cy: Mae'r llwybr yn serth ar adegau, ond yn llawn pryder.
    En: The path was steep at times but full of anticipation.

    Cy: Cawsant brynhawn hyfryd o ddarganfod a lluniau.
    En: They had a wonderful afternoon of discovery and photography.

    Cy: Roedd Emrys wrth ei fodd yn tynnu lluniau o lystyfiant lliwgar a golygfeydd dramatig.
    En: Emrys was thrilled to take pictures of colorful vegetation and dramatic views.

    Cy: Yn sydyn, sylweddolodd Carys bod ei hamserlen wedi bod yn anghywir.
    En: Suddenly, Carys realized her schedule had been wrong.

    Cy: Roedd y golau perffaith eisoes wedi mynd heibio.
    En: The perfect light had already passed.

    Cy: Emrys oedd y cyntaf i awgrymu dychwelyd i'r sylfaen, ond gwelodd siomedigaeth Carys.
    En: Emrys was the first to suggest returning to the base, but he saw Carys' disappointment.

    Cy: Yn hytrach na dilyn y daith gywir, awgrymodd Emrys iddynt fynd ar hyd llwybr eraill.
    En: Instead of following the correct path, Emrys suggested they take a different trail.

    Cy: Llwybrau nad oeddent ar y map.
    En: Paths that weren't on the map.

    Cy: "Mewn gwirionedd, Carys, gall sbontaneiddedd fod yn iawn," gwpsododd Emrys gyda gwên siriol.
    En: "In truth, Carys, spontaneity can be alright," mused Emrys with a cheerful smile.

    Cy: Gyda phryder yn ei llais, cytunodd Carys.
    En: With apprehension in her voice, Carys agreed.

    Cy: Roeddent yn crwydro, ar daith ar eu tywydd eu hunain.
    En: They wandered, on a journey of their own making.

    Cy: Cawsant y fuddugoliaeth o ddarganfod corneli cudd newydd.
    En: They achieved the victory of discovering new hidden corners.

    Cy: Yno, ar un o'r llwybrau anghofiedig, darganfuant olygfa syfrdanol o arfordir y gogledd wrth iddi fachlud.
    En: There, on one of the forgotten paths, they discovered a stunning view of the northern coastline as it set.

    Cy: Roedd yn olwg fendigedig.
    En: It was a magnificent sight.

    Cy: Roedd Emrys hynod falch o'r lluniau a gafodd, a theimlad o foddhad dros gwblhau her newydd.
    En: Emrys was extremely pleased with the photos he got, and a sense of satisfaction over completing a new challenge.

    Cy: Roedd Carys yn llonydd, ei llygaid yn llenwi â heddwch.
    En: Carys was still, her eyes filled with peace.

    Cy: “Mae’n anhygoel,” meddai'n dawel.
    En: “It’s amazing,” she said quietly.

    Cy: Ar fatri eu calonau newydd, dychwelodd y ddau i'r gymuned.
    En: On the battery of their renewed hearts, the two returned to the community.

    Cy: Mae Carys yn awr yn gweld gwerth amser o amgylch.
    En: Carys now saw the value of time off the beaten path.

    Cy: Emrys, gyda’i gamera a’i wên, nid yn unig oedd yn dal y pictiwr perffaith, ond hefyd yr atgofion.
    En: Emrys, with his camera and his smile, captured not only the perfect picture but also the memories.

    Cy: Roedd hyn y ddau wedi dysgu - bod y natur gyflawn, gydag amser i sbontaneiddio, yn cynnig mwy na'r hyn a gynlluniwyd.
    En: This was what the two had learned – that the natural state, with time to be spontaneous, offered more than what was planned.

    Cy: Ac felly, gyda'r heulwen yn darparu llwyfan hyfryd, roedd y ddrysau newydd a phrofiadau yn agor.
    En: And so, with the sunlight providing a beautiful stage, new doors and experiences opened.

    Cy: Roedd y byd hydrefol yn ceisio bod yn berffaith, ac yn y pen draw, llonyddwch Carys oedd y gwir ddarganfyddiad.
    En: The autumnal world sought to be perfect, and in the end, it was the stillness of Carys that was the true discovery.

    Cy: Roedd taith newydd wedi cychwyn ym myd cynlluniau Carys ac arloesi Emrys.
    En: A new journey had begun in the world of Carys' planning and Emrys' innovation.

    Cy: Mae eu dyddiau bellach yn fwy amlwg, gyda chyffro a chyflymder newydd.
    En: Their days are now more noticeable, with a new excitement and pace.

    Cy: Ar fin gamu i gylch newydd o drystwch yn sŵn cymuned gated Llandudno.
    En: On the verge of stepping into a new circle of trust amidst the sounds of the gated community in Llandudno.

    En: As they left, Gwyn heard the waterfalls of fragrance and virtual frost breaking joyfully, suggesting that home is not in the obvious places, but in those held close by doors of hope.

    En: The sun is setting on Maes Awyr Rhyngwladol Caerdydd; the night is casting the blue flame on the busy tarmac.

    En: Nearby, Rhys, the stressed businessman, was trying to handle multiple business calls at once.

    En: Although they didn’t understand each other, Gwen could feel his restlessness as he fiddled with his mobile phone.

    Cy: I’r cyferbyn, roedd Megan, yn llawn chwilfrydedd am gyffro’r dydd, yn sefyll ger y sgriniau mawr yn darllen yr amseroedd hedfan ac yn dychmygu eu storïau.
    En: In contrast, Megan, full of curiosity about the day's excitement, stood near the large screens, reading the flight times and imagining their stories.

    Cy: Yn sydyn, roedd y tawelwch siaradus a’r cyffro o wneud cofroddion o’r fath yn cael ei dorri.

    Cy: Un fenyw ar lawr, yn gwympedig, ac roedd angen help meddygol arni ar unwaith.
    En: A woman on the floor, in a faint, needed immediate medical help.

    Cy: Roedd ei instinct nyrsio’n glir.
    En: Her nursing instinct was clear.

    Cy: Galwodd Rhys am help a Megan yn codi sylw o’i chwmpas.
    En: Rhys called for help and Megan drew attention around her.

    Cy: Roedd hi’n caru hyfforddiant a gwybodaeth Gwen; roedd yn llawn cyngor gyda llaw gan Rhys, a Megan yn chwarae rhan fach fel cefnogwraig chwilfrydig ond beiddgar.
    En: She loved Gwen's training and knowledge; Rhys was full of advice and Megan played a small role as a curious but bold supporter.

    Cy: Gwen defnyddiodd ei sgiliau’n gyflym i sefydlogi’r fenyw.
    En: Gwen quickly used her skills to stabilize the woman.

    Cy: Roedd yr ergyd o adrenalin yng nghanol y porthladd awyr yn cyfuno â hi.
    En: The surge of adrenaline amidst the airport concourse was merging with her.

    Cy: Nid hir y bu’r paramedigion yno, a diolch i Gwen, roedd y sefyllfa o dan reolaeth.
    En: The paramedics weren't long in arriving, and thanks to Gwen, the situation was under control.

    Cy: Roedd y croesawgar wynfyd yn cael ei dorri gyda newyddion na fyddai Gwen yn dal ei hediad.
    En: The welcoming bliss was interrupted by the news that Gwen wouldn't be able to catch her flight.

    Cy: Ond roedd y staff ac ymwelwyr yn ddiolchgar.
    En: But the staff and visitors were grateful.

    Cy: Cynigiwyd lle iddi ar yr hediad nesaf heb unrhyw gost.
    En: She was offered a place on the next flight at no cost.

    Cy: Gwen traethodd drwy'r terminol gan wybod, er ei bod wedi colli’r daith y gallai ei gwell gydymdeimlad a gweithwyr maes awyr eraill ennill hyd y tir.
    En: Gwen walked through the terminal knowing, even though she missed the flight, that her empathy and connection with other airport workers could gain her ground.

    Cy: Roedd llenyddiaeth iddo yn cadarnhau ei rôl, ac er ei bod wedi blino pan yr oedd y paramedigion yn gofalu am y fenyw, roedd yn werthfawrogol o’i gwaith, a hithau’n geidwad o bob anhawster.
    En: The literature confirmed her role, and though she was tired when the paramedics took care of the woman, she was appreciative of her work, as she was a guardian of every hardship.

    Cy: Roedd y darganfyddiad newydd hwn o bwrpas yn gwneud i Gwen deimlo bod y problem sefyllfa wedi newid ac y cyniodd ei cynhesu’n gyffredinol.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Hunan a dweud y ddafad wrth y mynach.
    En: "Self," said the sheep to the monk.

    Cy: Dyma oedd motto Rhian bob amser.
    En: This was always Rhian's motto.

    Cy: Roedd hi'n sefyll gyda'i ffrindiau, Dafydd a Cerys, ar lethr bryn.
    En: She was standing with her friends, Dafydd and Cerys, on the slope of a hill.

    Cy: Islaw, roedd Abaty Valle Crucis yn cysgu.
    En: Below, Valle Crucis Abbey lay sleeping.

    Cy: Byth ers y plentyn, bu son am drysor cudd yma.
    En: Ever since childhood, there had been talk of hidden treasure here.

    Cy: Roedd hi'n brynhawn o ddiwedd yr haf, y coed yn dechrau newid lliw, a'r haul yn disgleirio wrth iddi fynd heibio'r cymylau.
    En: It was a late summer afternoon, the trees beginning to change color, and the sun was shining as it passed through the clouds.

    Cy: "Rydyn ni angen dod o hyd i'r trysor hwn," meddai Rhian, yn herio'i ffrindiau.
    En: "We need to find this treasure," Rhian said, challenging her friends.

    Cy: Roedd hi'n awyddus i ddarganfod rhywbeth i wneud iddi deimlo'n bwysig.
    En: She was eager to find something to make her feel important.

    Cy: "Ond mae'n peryglus," rhybuddiodd Dafydd.
    En: "But it's dangerous," warned Dafydd.

    Cy: Roedd ei ochrau ffyddlon bob amser yn amgylcheddol o ymdrechion Rhian i fynd y tu hwnt.
    En: His faithful sides were always wary of Rhian's efforts to go beyond.

    Cy: Ond roedd e'n deall arwyddocâd yr antur i Rhian.
    En: But he understood the significance of the adventure to Rhian.

    Cy: "Mae'r straeon yn dweud bod y drysor wedi ei guddio o dan adfeilion yr abaty," ychwanegodd Cerys gyda gwen yn llawn cyffro, yn awchu am unrhyw le i dywys ei dychymyg liar ynnigo.
    En: "The stories say the treasure is hidden under the ruins of the abbey," Cerys added with a grin full of excitement, eager for any place to guide her wandering imagination.

    Cy: Fe ffrëgodd y tri ffrind drwy'r gerddi, yn treiddio i wreiddiau tywyll y strwythur.
    En: The three friends crept through the gardens, delving into the dark roots of the structure.

    Cy: Roedd yr aer yn swynol o lawr môs a hanes, a'r to'n ddieithriad i'r haul roeddent wedi adael tu cefn.
    En: The air was enchantingly fragrant with moss and history, and the roof, a mystery they had left behind.

    Cy: Dewisodd Rhian arwain y ffordd tuag at adran oedd wedi ei dynodi gyda rhybuddion.
    En: Rhian chose to lead the way to an area marked with warnings.

    Cy: Roedd llythrennau coch yn rhybuddio nad i fynd ymlaen.
    En: Red letters cautioned them not to proceed.

    Cy: "Os nad ni, pwy bynnag?
    En: "If not us, then who?"

    Cy: " fe holodd Cerys yn chwilfrydig.
    En: Cerys asked curiously.

    Cy: Argaeledd o adeiladau sydd ar gael ar wasgar, a'r Drych Mawr a chafn i lawr, dywedodd chyfnewid eich dycniau i ddod o hyd i gamlera gudd, a dan do cafodd y tri anniddig gwrdd â fyddai'n golygu mwy o reibe: Tiwbiau rholio, hen lenni, a dwylo mewn chwarel dda o wybodaeth.
    En: Availability of buildings scattered about, and the Great Glass and trough down, instructed your perseverance to find hidden chambers, and under the roof, the uneasy trio met what would mean more chapters: Rolled tubes, old sheets, and hands in a quarry rich in information.

    Cy: Roedd y papurau yn berthnasol i'r gweithgareddau hanesyddol yn yr abatyau.
    En: The papers were related to historical activities in the abbeys.

    Cy: Lennodd llygod gafalog wedi'i ddryllio ar gwaplien dram y iaith.
    En: Shattered scrolls adorned the path of the language.

    Cy: Roedd Rhian yn dychwelyd arni heb drysor, ond roedd y teimlad cyfan yn ei ewyllys yn ei gadarnhau.
    En: Rhian returned from it without treasure, but the feeling of her entire will fortified her.

    Cy: Gwnaeth y dystiolaeth sylweddol a chael ffotograff lledol iddo ei rhoi i'r oriel leol.
    En: The substantial evidence gathered and a photograph allowed her to contribute to the local gallery.

    Cy: Er nad oedd Rhian wedi darganfod trysor aur fel roedd hi'n ddymuno'n gyntaf, roedd y parch a'r gwerthfawrogiad a gafodd oddi wrth ei ffrindiau a'r gymuned yn ddigon.
    En: Although Rhian had not discovered gold treasure as she initially wished, the respect and appreciation she received from her friends and the community were enough.

    Cy: Ar ddiwedd y dydd, roedd yr hyn roedd hi wir eisiau wedi bod yno yn y cyfrinachau cudd hynny - nid aur, ond yn hytrach, hanes.
    En: At the end of the day, what she truly wanted had been there in those hidden secrets—not gold, but rather, history.

    Cy: Dyma oedd neges Valle Crucis ar y diwrnod hwnnw, bod gwir glod yn aml yn cuddio mewn mannau lle mae chwilio yn fwy pwysig nag adnoddau.
    En: This was the message of Valle Crucis on that day, that true glory often hides in places where searching is more important than resources.

    Cy: Roedd Rhian yn gwybod nawr, gyda Cerys a Dafydd wrth ei ymyl, ei dyn a'i ddadleu i ennill rydym ein lle ein hunain.
    En: Rhian now knew, with Cerys and Dafydd by her side, her determination and arguments would earn them their own place.
