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.
