Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar fore braf o haf, roedd y tri ffrind, Eira, Rhys, a Carwyn, wedi cychwyn ar eu taith fynyddol epig drwy Barc Cenedlaethol Eryri.
En: On a fine summer morning, the three friends, Eira, Rhys, and Carwyn, set off on their epic mountain journey through Eryri National Park.

Cy: Roedd yr haul yn tywynnu, a'r awyr yn las, yn adlewyrchu ar fryniau gwyrdd yr ardal.
En: The sun was shining, and the sky was blue, reflecting on the area's green hills.

Cy: Roedd Eira yn llawn cyffro.
En: Eira was full of excitement.

Cy: Ei nod oedd cyrraedd copa un o'r mynyddoedd uchel, er mwyn profi ei gallu i'w hun a'i ffrindiau.
En: Her goal was to reach the summit of one of the high mountains, to prove her ability to herself and her friends.

Cy: "Mae'r daith hon yn siwr o fod yn her," meddai Eira, yn blin ac yn anadlu'n drwm wrth iddi gamu ymlaen yn gyflym, "ond rwy'n barod amdani!"
En: "This journey is sure to be a challenge," said Eira, breathing heavily as she stepped forward quickly, "but I'm ready for it!"

Cy: Roedd Rhys ychydig yn fwy petrusgar, yn edrych i fyny tuag at y copa uchel, "Dim ond os ydyn ni'n cadw'n saff. Mae amseroedd medru bod yn beryg ar y llwybrau."
En: Rhys was a bit more hesitant, looking up towards the lofty summit, "Only if we keep safe. Times can be dangerous on the trails."

Cy: Yn y cyfamser, gwenu fel petai popeth yn iawn, canodd Carwyn gân.
En: Meanwhile, smiling as if everything was fine, Carwyn started singing a song.

Cy: "Dewch 'mlaen, Rhys, bydd popeth yn iawn. Byddwn ni'n ei wneud gyda'n gilydd!"
En: "Come on, Rhys, everything will be fine. We'll do it together!"

Cy: Roedd penllanw'r taith wrth iddynt gyrraedd rhan fwyaf serth y mynydd.
En: The highlight of the journey came as they reached the steepest part of the mountain.

Cy: Yna fe ddigwyddodd y ddamwain annisgwyl.
En: Then, the unexpected accident happened.

Cy: Tra’n eiddgar symud ymlaen, baglodd Eira ar garreg lwyd wedi gwasgaru yn ddisymwth.
En: Eagerly moving forward, Eira tripped on a gray stone that suddenly scattered.

Cy: Clywodd Rhys a Carwyn y sŵn sydyn o gnisio, ac ymledduodd eu dwylo i gynnal eu ffrind yn syth.
En: Rhys and Carwyn heard the sudden sound of stumbling and reached out their hands to immediately support their friend.

Cy: "Aa! Fy mhen-glin," ochneidiodd Eira, ymchwil ei chefn gyda phoen.
En: "Ow! My knee," sighed Eira, searching her back in pain.

Cy: Bu distawrwydd byr wedyn, oni bai am si air gywnglod.
En: There was a brief silence afterward, except for a distant rumble of thunder.

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn edrych yn bryderus tua'r cymylau tywyll a oedd yn dechrau casglu uwch eu pennau.
En: Rhys looked anxiously towards the dark clouds beginning to gather above them.

Cy: "Rhaid i ni fynd nôl i lawr cyn bod y storm yn cyrraedd."
En: "We must go back down before the storm arrives."

Cy: Safodd Carwyn, gan ddod ag awr yn fwy difrifol nag arfer; ond llwyddodd i gadw ei natur bositif.
En: Carwyn stood, taking on a more serious demeanor than usual; but he managed to keep his positive nature.

Cy: "Eira, ni allwn ni wneud hyn yn unig. Mae'n rhaid disgwyl rhwystro'r anaf."
En: "Eira, we can't do this alone. We must wait to brace the injury."

Cy: Gyda lliwiau'r amgylchedd yn mynd yn fwy tywyll, roedd amser yn brin.
En: With the colors of the environment becoming darker, time was of the essence.

Cy: Wedi ystyried pob posibiliad, penderfynodd Eira ei bod yn gwella cymorth ei ffrindiau.
En: After considering all possibilities, Eira decided to rely on her friends' assistance.

Cy: "Mi wna i ddibynnu arnoch chi. Mae'n well ffeindio ffordd dan ddilyn eich awgrymiadau."
En: "I'll depend on you. It's better to find a way by following your suggestions."

Cy: Gyda sgil a datblygu o'r eiliad, adeiladodd Rhys a Carwyn splint syml gan ddefnyddio dwy ffon gref, tei a oedd ganddynt, a chysuro Eira i fyny wrth y populestable.
En: With skill developed from the moment, Rhys and Carwyn built a simple splint using two sturdy sticks, a tie they had, and comforted Eira while she was at the summit shelter.

Cy: Gyda phetrusen yn dechrau disgyn, dechreuon nhw ymdrech ddi-dor i bob llonydd rhwng y coed tal a'r llwyni brith sydd gan Barc Cenedlaethol Eryri.
En: With rain starting to fall, they began an unbroken effort to safely navigate between the tall trees and variegated bushes of Eryri National Park.

Cy: Er gwaethaf yr heriau, a chyn iddynt gyrradd ardal mwy diogel, llwyddon nhw i siap eu hunain a chwerthin tra'n ymdrin â pha mor ofnadwy oedd eu taith, yng nghysgod y caffi ymwelwyr wrth y lleiantol.
En: Despite the challenges, and before they reached a safer area, they managed to cheer themselves up and laughed while dealing with how dreadful their journey had been, in the shadow of the visitor cafe at the incline.

Cy: Gyda eu ffrindiau wrth ei hochr, dysgodd Eira wers bwysig.
En: With her friends by her side, Eira learned an important lesson.

Cy: Nid oedd pob cryfder yn ymwneud â gwneud popeth yn annibynnol, ond hefyd am ddeall y gall dibynnu ar eraill fod yr un mor gryf.
En: Not all strength is about doing everything independently, but also about understanding that relying on others can be just as strong.

Cy: A gyda hynny, teimlodd Eira rwyddineb newydd, nid dim ond yn ei chorff ond hefyd yn ei chalon.
En: And with that, Eira felt a new ease, not just in her body but also in her heart.

Cy: Roedd y mynydd wedi dysgu hi lawer mwy nag oedd hi'n disgwyl - y byddai cryfder hefyd mewn cyfeillgarwch a gwaith tîm, a byddai hynny'n parhau gyda hi i'r cyfnod nesaf.
En: The mountain had taught her much more than she expected—that strength also lies in friendship and teamwork, and that would stay with her for the next phase.
