Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn Oriel y Ddinas, roedd y plant yn dringo allan o'r bws ysgol, eu llygaid yn brwd wrth iddynt gofio am y diwrnod blasus a'i addewidion.
En: In the Oriel y Ddinas, the children were climbing out of the school bus, their eyes eager as they remembered the exciting day and its promises.

Cy: Roedd dail brown a melyn yr hydref yn swnio tan draed wrth iddynt fynd tuag at y drws mawr.
En: The brown and yellow autumn leaves crunched underfoot as they headed towards the big door.

Cy: Ymhell ar y blaen, cerddodd Carys gyda'i ffordd gyfarwydd; roedd yr Oriel Naturiol yn lle cyfarwydd iddi.
En: Far ahead, Carys walked with her familiar gait; the Oriel Naturiol was a familiar place for her.

Cy: Roedd hi'n gwybod sawl peth am ddinosoriaid a hanes y ddaear.
En: She knew a lot about dinosaurs and the history of the earth.

Cy: Roedd ei breuddwyd am astudio archeoleg yn tanio ei hangerdd.
En: Her dream of studying archaeology fueled her passion.

Cy: Ond yn sownd rhywfaint yn ôl, cerddodd Emrys.
En: But lagging somewhat behind, Emrys walked.

Cy: Roedd yn edrych o gwmpas, ansicr.
En: He looked around, uncertain.

Cy: Nid oedd yn teimlo'n gysurus, yn enwedig gyda'r prosiect oedd angen ei gwblhau yma.
En: He didn't feel comfortable, especially with the project that needed to be completed here.

Cy: Roedd ganddo brofiadau o deimlo braidd yn annigonol mewn gwaith ysgol.
En: He had experienced feeling somewhat inadequate in schoolwork before.

Cy: "Carys!" galwodd Emrys arni, yn ceisio cyrraedd ei ochr.
En: "Carys!" Emrys called to her, trying to catch up to her side.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn stopio a'n gwenu arno.
En: Carys stopped and smiled at him.

Cy: "Helo, Emrys. Barod i fynd ar antur?"
En: "Hello, Emrys. Ready to go on an adventure?"

Cy: Noddodd Emrys yn betrusgar.
En: Emrys nodded hesitantly.

Cy: "Rhaid bod hynny'n hwyliog gyda'r un gwybodus fel ti," meddai'n llawen ond gydag ansicrwydd.
En: "That must be fun with someone knowledgeable like you," he said cheerfully but with uncertainty.

Cy: "Felly, gweithio gyda'n gilydd?" awgrymodd Carys.
En: "So, working together?" suggested Carys.

Cy: Yn eistedd ar fainc ger y sgerbwd mawr o ddinosaur, cafodd eu prosiect ei ddechrau.
En: Sitting on a bench near the large dinosaur skeleton, their project began.

Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw weithio, ychwanegodd gwybodaeth Carys haen o frwdfrydedd i'r prosiect.
En: As they worked, Carys's knowledge added a layer of enthusiasm to the project.

Cy: Yna, roeddent yn cerdded tuag at yr adran enfysol lle roedd hen fosiliau'n cael eu harddangos.
En: Then, they walked towards the vibrant section where ancient fossils were displayed.

Cy: Wrth fynd heibio i un o'r gwydro danbryd, gwaeddodd Carys yn sydyn.
En: As they passed one of the glass cabinets, Carys suddenly shouted.

Cy: Roedd y ddau wedi dod ar draws fosil unigryw, yn ymgorfforiad o rywbeth a oedd efallai'n anhysbys i'r curaduron hyd yma.
En: The two had come across a unique fossil, an embodiment of something that perhaps was unknown to the curators until now.

Cy: Daeth eu hathro, Mr. Evans, atynt wrth glywed yr hysteria cyffrous.
En: Their teacher, Mr. Evans, came over to them when he heard the excited commotion.

Cy: "Beth ydych chi wedi ei ddarganfod, chi dau?" gofynnodd gyda churiad ei galon yn cyflymu, tra'n edrych ar y darganfyddiad a oedd wedi taro'r ddau ddisgybl.
En: "What have you two discovered?" he asked with his heart racing, as he looked at the discovery that had startled the two students.

Cy: Chwilio'n ofalus, dechreuodd Mr. Evans wenu yn ehangach.
En: Examining carefully, Mr. Evans began to smile more broadly.

Cy: "Wel, bydd hwn yn ychwanegu rhywbeth arbennig iawn i'r arddangosfa," meddai'n bendant.
En: "Well, this will add something very special to the exhibit," he said confidently.

Cy: Roedd Emrys yn edrych at Carys ac yna i Mr. Evans.
En: Emrys looked at Carys and then at Mr. Evans.

Cy: Am y tro cyntaf ers amser maith, teimlai Emrys yn falch o'i gyfraniad.
En: For the first time in a long while, Emrys felt proud of his contribution.

Cy: Ei gwenu'n pefrio wrth glywed y geiriau.
En: His smile sparkled at hearing the words.

Cy: Mae'r diwrnod yn dod i ben wrth i'r plant gasglu at eu hunain.
En: The day wrapped up as the children gathered themselves together.

Cy: Roedd y gôl ar ben Emrys yn deimlad o hyder newydd.
En: The glow on Emrys's face was a feeling of newfound confidence.

Cy: Er nad oedd yn arbenigwr mewn dinosauriau fel Carys, roedd wedi profi iddo'i hun ei fod yn gallu cyflawni pethau mawr.
En: Though he was not an expert in dinosaurs like Carys, he had proven to himself that he could achieve great things.

Cy: Wrth iddynt gerdded tuag at y bws, sylweddolai Emrys ei fod yn fwy agored i brofiadau newydd.
En: As they walked towards the bus, Emrys realized he was more open to new experiences.

Cy: Teimlodd nerth newydd i gofrestru am fwy o gyfleoedd.
En: He felt a new strength to sign up for more opportunities.

Cy: Roedd dysg Carys wedi rhoi iddo fwy nag unrhyw-athro arall.
En: Carys's knowledge had given him more than any other teacher.

Cy: "Gad i ni wneud hyn eto," meddyliodd Emrys gydag ymdeimlad o bwrpas clir, gan ddal dail a oedd yn disgyn wrth iddo fynd.
En: "Let's do this again," thought Emrys with a sense of clear purpose, catching falling leaves as he went.

Cy: Roedd hydref wedi newid Emrys, a newydd gychwyn ei stori newydd.
En: Autumn had changed Emrys, and a new story had just begun.
