Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd prynhawn haf cynnes yn Forsyth Park, Savannah.
En: It was a warm summer afternoon in Forsyth Park, Savannah.

Cy: Roedd Gareth, dyn ifanc gyda chalon llawn chwilfrydedd, yn cerdded ar hyd y llwybr.
En: Gareth, a young man with a heart full of curiosity, was walking along the path.

Cy: Roedd coed dderw mawr gyda clymau mwsogl Sbaenaidd yn siglo uwch ei ben.
En: Large oak trees with Spanish moss swayed above him.

Cy: Ers iddo symud i Savannah, roedd Gareth yn chwilio am wrthrych arbennig.
En: Since moving to Savannah, Gareth had been searching for something special.

Cy: Y gwir yw, roedd e eisiau gwneud marc, rhywbeth rhyfeddol a fyddai'n rhoi iddo deimlad o gartrefoldeb.
En: The truth is, he wanted to make a mark, something extraordinary that would give him a sense of belonging.

Cy: Wrth gerdded ger coeden dderw hynafol, aeth sylw Gareth i rywbeth gwahanol.
En: As he walked near an ancient oak tree, Gareth's attention was drawn to something different.

Cy: Roedd rhan o focs wedi'i gladdu yn y ddaear, dim ond darn ohono i'w weld rhwng y glaswellt a'r pridd.
En: A part of a box was buried in the ground, with only a piece visible between the grass and the earth.

Cy: Roedd y blwch wedi padlo, a dim ond un clo cryf oedd arno.
En: The box had been battered, and only one strong lock was on it.

Cy: Wrth fynd yn agosach, tynnodd allan ychydig o'r pridd i'w glirio.
En: As he got closer, he cleared a bit of the soil to see it better.

Cy: Cododd y blwch o'r ddaear, yn edrych ar ei wyneb dirgel.
En: He lifted the box from the ground, gazing at its mysterious surface.

Cy: "Dafydd, edrych ar hwn!
En: "Dafydd, look at this!"

Cy: " galwodd Gareth wrth weld ei ffrind yn cerdded drosodd.
En: Gareth called out as he saw his friend walking over.

Cy: Roedd Dafydd yn ffrind o'r dre newydd hefyd, ond roedd ddefnyddiol, a'i nature synhwyrol wastad yn ei gadw o drafferthion.
En: Dafydd was also a friend from the new town, but he was resourceful, and his sensible nature always kept him out of trouble.

Cy: "Mae hwn yn edrych yn beryglus," meddai Dafydd, yn syllu ar y blwch clo.
En: "This looks dangerous," said Dafydd, staring at the locked box.

Cy: "Pwy a ŵyr beth sydd yno.
En: "Who knows what’s in there.

Cy: Dylem adael o.
En: We should leave it."

Cy: "Ond roedd Gareth eisoes wedi gwneud ei benderfyniad.
En: But Gareth had already made his decision.

Cy: Roedd rhyw ddyhead caeth wedi'i afael yn nghalon ei chwiliadau.
En: Some compelling desire had gripped his searching heart.

Cy: Nid oedd e'n mynd i adael iddo fynd.
En: He wasn't going to let it go.

Cy: Daeth Elin o hyd i Gareth y diwrnod wedyn.
En: Elin found Gareth the next day.

Cy: Roedd hi'n fedrus gyda phosau a dod o hyd i ffyrdd cudd, pethau byddai yn codi diddordeb Gareth ac yn galw ar ei natur chwilfrydig.
En: She was skilled with puzzles and finding hidden ways, things that would pique Gareth's interest and appeal to his curious nature.

Cy: "Elin, fe ddes i o hyd i rywbeth," meddai Gareth ag arwydd o gyffro.
En: "Elin, I found something," said Gareth with a hint of excitement.

Cy: "Fe wnes i ddod â'r blwch i ti weld.
En: "I brought the box for you to see."

Cy: "Roedden nhw'n eistedd o dan gysgod y goeden whennyn, a dechreuodd Elin weithio ar agor y clo gyda'i chrefft gosod cloeon.
En: They sat under the shadow of the ash tree, and Elin began to work on opening the lock with her lock-picking skills.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn gwylio'n fanwl, ei galon yn curo'n gyflym â'r disgwylgarwch.
En: Gareth watched intently, his heart racing with anticipation.

Cy: O fewn amser byr, clywyd y clo'n bachau.
En: Within a short time, the lock clicked open.

Cy: Agorodd y blwch i weld casgliad o lythyrau hen a lluniau du a gwyn yn gorwedd tu mewn iddo.
En: They opened the box to find a collection of old letters and black and white photos lying inside.

Cy: Ymddangosai eu bod nhw'n rhan o gyfrinach hanesyddol am orffennol Savannah, rhywbeth byddai'n son ar lafar y ddinas.
En: They seemed to be part of a historical secret about Savannah's past, something that would be spoken of in the city's whispers.

Cy: "Mae'n syfrdanol," meddai Gareth, ei lygaid yn llawn disgwyliad ac enigmatiaeth.
En: "It's amazing," said Gareth, his eyes full of expectation and mystery.

Cy: "Beth mae hyn i gyd yn ei olygu?
En: "What does all this mean?"

Cy: "Byddai Elin a Gareth bellach yn gweithio law yn llaw, yn archwilio cyfandir amser wedi'i guddio, yn ceisio datrys yr hyn oedd ganddynt.
En: Elin and Gareth would now work hand in hand, exploring a hidden expanse of time, trying to solve what they had found.

Cy: Wrth i'r haul fachlud a choed Forsyth Park dawelu yn y golau marwel, teimlodd Gareth ei fod wedi canfod rhywbeth arbennig.
En: As the sun set and the trees of Forsyth Park quieted in the twilight, Gareth felt he had found something special.

Cy: Nid am y blwch ei hun, ond y cysylltiad roedd wedi'i greu â'i gartref newydd, a'r hanesion roedd am ddarganfod.
En: Not because of the box itself, but the connection it had created with his new home, and the stories he would uncover.

Cy: Roedd ei ddyhead am gynhefeddrwydd wedi cael ei ateb, nid trwy rywbeth newydd na'r gorffennol, ond yn y gwirionedd ei bod bywyd yn llawn o bethau mawrion yma ag yn awr.
En: His longing for comfort had been answered, not through something new or the past, but in the truth that life is full of great things here and now.

Cy: Daeth Gareth i sylweddoli nad oedd angen chwilio'n bell am ryfeddodau bywyd.
En: Gareth came to realize that there was no need to search far for life's wonders.

Cy: Roedd gwirionedd ac ystyr yn sefyll gerllaw'r man roedd e'n galw gartref.
En: Truth and meaning stood close to the place he called home.

Cy: Roedd newydd gyfarfod â chyfeillion a chyfrinachau cofiadwy.
En: He had just met unforgettable friends and secrets.

Cy: Roedd y diwedd yn agos, ond roedd y stori newydd y dechrau.
En: The end was near, but the story was just beginning.
