Story Transcript:

Cy: Eira gwyn fel cot o wlanen dros fynyddoedd yr Wyddfa.
En: White snow like a woolen coat over the mynyddoedd yr Wyddfa.

Cy: Y gwynt yn chwibanu drwy'r coed, ond roedd llawenydd yn y grŵp wrth iddynt ddechrau ei taith drwy Barc Cenedlaethol Eryri.
En: The wind whistled through the trees, but there was joy in the group as they began their journey through Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri.

Cy: Roedd Carys ar y blaen.
En: Carys was at the front.

Cy: Roedd hi'n ddisglair, annibynnol, ond roedd llais bach o amheuaeth yn pwyso arni.
En: She was bright, independent, but a small voice of doubt pressed on her.

Cy: Gareth o'r tu ôl iddi.
En: Gareth was behind her.

Cy: Yn ofalus, yn nerfus wrth edrych ar bob cam.
En: Careful, nervous as he watched every step.

Cy: "Mae'n diwrnod perffaith," meddai Carys yn hyderus, ond oddi tan y hyder yna, roedd hi'n poeni am Gareth.
En: "It's a perfect day," said Carys confidently, but beneath that confidence, she worried about Gareth.

Cy: "Rydw i eisiau mynd ar hyd y llwybr hwn," meddai Gareth, gan bwyntio at llwybr cul yn plygu tuag at y coed.
En: "I want to take this path," said Gareth, pointing to a narrow path bending towards the trees.

Cy: "Ydych chi'n siŵr?
En: "Are you sure?"

Cy: " gofynnodd Carys, yn ceisio peidio dangos ei phryder.
En: asked Carys, trying not to show her concern.

Cy: "Rwy'n mynd i roi cynnig arni," meddai Gareth, drwsio'i bag ar ei gefn ac yn camu ymlaen.
En: "I'm going to give it a try," Gareth said, adjusting his bag on his back and stepping forward.

Cy: Aeth y grŵp ymlaen, yr eira yn crensian dan eu traed.
En: The group moved on, the snow crunching under their feet.

Cy: Roedd y golygfeydd yn syfrdanol.
En: The views were breathtaking.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn edrych yn ôl yn achlysurol tra'n cadw llygad ar Gareth, ond yn fuan, roedd yn anodd ei weld.
En: Carys occasionally looked back while keeping an eye on Gareth, but soon, it became hard to see him.

Cy: "Ble mae Gareth?
En: "Where is Gareth?"

Cy: " meddai rhywun, tynnu sylw Carys yn ôl at y nerfusrwydd yn ei chalon.
En: someone said, pulling Carys's attention back to the nervousness in her heart.

Cy: "Rhaid iddo fod ar daith o hyd," dywedodd Carys, yn gweithio ar gadw'n llonydd.
En: "He must still be on the trail," said Carys, working to remain calm.

Cy: Heb egwyl, penderfynodd Carys: "Byddwn ni'n trefnu chwilio amdano.
En: Without hesitation, Carys decided: "We'll organize a search for him.

Cy: Byddwn i gyd yn aros yn dawel a chadw draw.
En: We all need to stay quiet and keep our distance."

Cy: " Wrth iddynt edrych, roedd Gareth yn bell i ffwrdd ar llwybr.
En: As they searched, Gareth was far along the path.

Cy: Roedd wedi colli hyder ond sawl landmark - coeden tal, clogwyn amlwg - yn helpu'r ffordd yn ôl.
En: He had lost confidence, but several landmarks—a tall tree, a notable cliff—helped the way back.

Cy: Ond erbyn hyn, roedd y llais bach o bryder yn cadw cwmni iddo.
En: But by now, the small voice of worry kept him company.

Cy: Ym mhob cam, dywedodd wrtha'i: "Rhaid i fi fod yn gryf.
En: With every step, he told himself: "I must be strong."

Cy: " Ond pan mae'r haul yn dechrau disgyn, fe waeddodd: "Carys!
En: But when the sun began to set, he called out: "Carys!?"

Cy: "Llais o bell yn ateb: "Arhoswch, Gareth!
En: A distant voice answered: "Wait, Gareth!"

Cy: "Fe gildiodd y pryder pan welodd ei ffrindiau yn agosáu.
En: The worry faded when he saw his friends approaching.

Cy: Roedd hi'n anrhydeddu cefnogaeth Carys a gwaith tîm.
En: He honored the support of Carys and the teamwork.

Cy: "Diolch," meddai Gareth, yn edrych ar Carys gyda gwen rhyddhad.
En: "Thank you," said Gareth, looking at Carys with a smile of relief.

Cy: "Nid un dyn yn unig," meddai Carys, "mae rhywun weithiau angen cymorth.
En: "Not one man alone," said Carys, "sometimes someone needs help."

Cy: "Daeth yr hufen nosweithiol dros yr Eryri wrth iddynt orffen eu diwrnod mewn'r un gobaith newydd.
En: The evening cream spread over the Eryri as they finished their day with a new hope.

Cy: Dysgodd Carys mai arweinydd da yw un sy'n derbyn nad yw arweinyddiaeth yn ymwneud â'r unig berson.
En: Carys learned that a good leader is one who accepts that leadership isn't about the lone person.

Cy: Dysgodd Gareth bod cryfder mewn derbyn cymorth.
En: Gareth learned that there's strength in accepting help.

Cy: Roeddent wedi darganfod cydbwysedd rhwng annibyniaeth a chariad.
En: They discovered a balance between independence and love.

Cy: Dim ond trwy hynny y gallent barhau ar eu taith drwy'r bywyd.
En: Only through that could they continue their journey through life.
