Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar drothwy diwedd haf, roedd heulwen braf yn goleuo River Street, Savannah.
En: On the eve of the end of summer, a lovely sunshine lit up River Street, Savannah.

Cy: Roedd y stryd hir yn llawn o bobl yn mwynhau'r haul cyn dychwelyd i drefniadau'r ysgol.
En: The long street was full of people enjoying the sun before returning to school arrangements.

Cy: Cerddodd Rhys, Carys, a Glyn lawr y cobls hanesyddol, pob un gyda'i reswm eu hunain dros siopa am gyflenwadau ysgol.
En: Rhys, Carys, and Glyn walked down the historic cobblestones, each with their own reason for shopping for school supplies.

Cy: Roedd Rhys, athro ysgol uwchradd, yn edmygu'r ffenestri siopau.
En: Rhys, a high school teacher, admired the shop windows.

Cy: Roedd angen iddo ddod o hyd i nwyddau o safon ar gyfer ei fyfyrwyr tra'n cadw at gyllideb dynn.
En: He needed to find quality goods for his students while sticking to a tight budget.

Cy: Ym mhen arall y stryd, chwilio Carys am ddilladau ffasiynol i wneud argraff ar ei chyd-fyfyrwyr yn y brifysgol.
En: At the other end of the street, Carys was searching for fashionable clothes to impress her fellow university students.

Cy: Roedd Glyn, tad ifanc, gyda rhestr anferth o bethau ar gyfer ei blant,'n trio cydbwyso pris gyda safon.
En: Glyn, a young father, had a massive list of items for his children, trying to balance price with quality.

Cy: Roedd y siopau ar River Street yn brysur, gyda phobl yn prysur baratoi ar gyfer y tymor newydd.
En: The shops on River Street were busy, with people hastily preparing for the new season.

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn teimlo straen yr holl gyflenwadau drud.
En: Rhys felt the strain of all the expensive supplies.

Cy: Roedd arno ofn gorwario ac felly cychwynnodd chwilio am fargeinion.
En: He was afraid of overspending, so he began searching for bargains.

Cy: Elwodd i mewn ac allan o siopau, gan bob amser gyrraedd y casgliadau siopa yn hwyr - roedd y prisiau'n uchel ac ambell i eitem hyd yn oed wedi gwerthu allan.
En: He entered and exited shops, always arriving at the shopping collections late — the prices were high, and some items had even sold out.

Cy: Yna, mewn gornel o siop anamlwg, canfu Rhys edrychlenni am adran glirio cudd.
En: Then, in the corner of an inconspicuous shop, Rhys discovered flyers about a hidden clearance section.

Cy: Roedd y prisiau’n llawer gwell, ac roedd yr eitemau o ansawdd uchel.
En: The prices were much better, and the items were of high quality.

Cy: Ymddangosodd fel cwpwrdd o aur yng nghanol prysurdeb y dref.
En: It appeared like a cupboard of gold amid the town's hustle and bustle.

Cy: Tra digwyddodd hyn, roedd Glyn a Carys wedi cael yr hyn yr oeddent ei angen a'u cludo'n hapus tuag at Rhys.
En: While this was happening, Glyn and Carys had found what they needed and happily made their way toward Rhys.

Cy: Roedd y bobl yn y siop yn brysur gasglu nwyddau o'r adran glirio.
En: The people in the shop were busy gathering goods from the clearance section.

Cy: Rhuthrodd Rhys i sicrhau dwy gant o beiriannau ysgrifennu ac ambell i god gwerslyfr.
En: Rhys rushed to secure two hundred typewriters and a few sets of textbooks.

Cy: Roedd ei galon yn curo gan gyffro a rhyddhad.
En: His heart was pounding with excitement and relief.

Cy: Llwyddodd i gael popeth heb drafferth, gan lwyddo i aros o fewn ei gyllideb.
En: He managed to get everything without trouble, successfully staying within budget.

Cy: Crysai'r haul dros River Street wrth i'r mis bach daro diwedd.
En: The sun glistened over River Street as the small month came to an end.

Cy: Aeth Rhys, Glyn, a Carys at safle'r dre yn gwerthu lemonêd i ddathlu.
En: Rhys, Glyn, and Carys went to a stand in town selling lemonade to celebrate.

Cy: Teimlodd Rhys yn gyflawn.
En: Rhys felt fulfilled.

Cy: Dysgodd werth amynedd a gwaith caled, yn sylweddoli na fydd yr haf hir o ddiwrnodau cynnes a syml yn para am byth.
En: He learned the value of patience and hard work, realizing that the long summer of warm and simple days would not last forever.

Cy: Roedd wrth ei fodd gyda'i hanes siopa a sioc oedd o ei gof.
En: He was delighted with his shopping tale, a story etched in his memory.

Cy: Mae cyflawniad Rhys wrth ei ysgafnu ac mae'n gwenu wrth feddwl am y tymor newydd ac yntau'n barod.
En: The accomplishment lightened Rhys's heart, and he smiled, thinking about the new season and his readiness for it.
