Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn uwch o bob llecyn yn Eryri, lle mae'r eira'n gorwedd fel haen drwchus o wlanen, saif labordy cudd.
En: High above every spot in Eryri, where the snow lies like a thick layer of fleece, stands a hidden laboratory.

Cy: Mae'r wal briddsil tu mewn yn oeri ond mae offer technolegol anhygoel yn dod â chyffro gwresog i'r fan a'r lle.
En: The earthen walls inside are cold, but incredible technological equipment brings a warm excitement to the place.

Cy: Yn yr adeilad syml hwn, gweithia Gareth, gwyddonydd gwallgof sydd â brwdfrydedd eithafol am dechnoleg cludo.
En: In this simple building works Gareth, a mad scientist with an extreme enthusiasm for transport technology.

Cy: Wrth iddi gochi ymhell uwchben, roedd Gareth yn uffernol bwysig.
En: As it glowed far above, Gareth was intensely important.

Cy: Roedd wedi adeiladu dyfais cludo a fyddai’n profi i'w gydweithwyr am eu camriegeg ynghylch ei allu.
En: He had built a transport device that would demonstrate to his colleagues their misunderstanding regarding his ability.

Cy: Roedd Eira a Rhys, ei gymdeithion ymchwil ffyddlon, wedi'u llethu gan ddirgryniad ei meddyliol am ymaflyd.
En: Eira and Rhys, his loyal research companions, were overwhelmed by the energetic vibration of his mind.

Cy: Wrth dalu sylw manwl i'r ddyfais, cafodd Gareth guriad cymeriad pwysig.
En: Paying close attention to the device, Gareth had a significant character shock.

Cy: Roedd eilediad yn anghywir, ond roedd mor hyderus y byddai'n gweithio.
En: The circuitry was incorrect, but he was so confident it would work.

Cy: Pwysodd y botwm, a pham!
En: He pressed the button, and bam!

Cy: Yno, mewn mŵg a disgleirio, troes ei gorff yn warth i'w esgyrn.
En: There, in smoke and sparkle, his body turned to disgrace amongst his bones.

Cy: Yn annisgwyl, ni theithiodd o un lle i'r llall, ond yn hytrach, roedd ei gorff wedi cymryd ffurf newydd – defaid gwyn.
En: Unexpectedly, he didn't travel from one place to another, but instead, his body had taken on a new form—a white sheep.

Cy: Gareth, yn meddyliol pelydrol gyda realiti newydd, nawr yn wynebu problem newydd.
En: Gareth, mentally radiating with this new reality, now faced a new problem.

Cy: Eira a Rhys, a oedd â storfa o wybodaeth, oedd ei unig obaith.
En: Eira and Rhys, who had a wealth of knowledge, were his only hope.

Cy: Ond sut allai defaid siarad?
En: But how could a sheep talk?

Cy: Dechreuodd Gareth, love hyd yn oed fel defaid, lawysgrifio â'i ben.
En: Gareth started, even as a sheep, to scribe with his head.

Cy: Teimlai ysgwydwig ei ben wrth daflu'r llwybr pŵl i'm gwyn dan ei draed.
En: He felt his head shake as he tossed the pool path under his feet.

Cy: Roedd sawr myfyrio apple yn y lifft fel tog sylweddol.
En: There was the scent of reflective apple in the lift like a substantial tug.

Cy: Eira, gyda'i llygaid mygwid, a sylwodd ar y sgrîn dargedu.
En: Eira, with her misty eyes, noticed the targeting screen.

Cy: "Rhys, edrychwch ar hyn!
En: "Rhys, look at this!"

Cy: " Gwaeddodd Eira wrth symudion Gareth fel fflach lu'mynor.
En: shouted Eira, watching Gareth's movements like a flash of inspiration.

Cy: Roedd y cynghrair a ryfelchwyd fel Rwman yn peri cilio.
En: The alliance that they fought like the Romans was resulting in a retreat.

Cy: Dilynodd Rhys, yn chwilio am bob cyfle i huno newidiadau.
En: Rhys followed, searching for every opportunity to harness changes.

Cy: "Mae 'na wall," meddai Rhys, wrth dalu gwedd niwl.
En: "There's a flaw," said Rhys, while gauging the foggy alignment.

Cy: Roedd Eira'n methu ddeall.
En: Eira couldn't understand.

Cy: "Dyma'r cerfwedd!
En: "This is the carving!"

Cy: " Clever byth yn hals, camodd trwmyn Eira am y dynadl frith.
En: Clever without fail, Eira stepped heavily toward the speckled prompt.

Cy: Yn gweithio erbyn y prydles, llwyddodd yn benllanw'r pwrpas.
En: Working against the lease, they succeeded in the culmination of the purpose.

Cy: Defnyddion nhw'r sgrifen ac, â dash chwyldro, trawsnewid Gareth yn ôl i'w ffurf ddynol.
En: They used the writing and, in a revolutionary dash, transformed Gareth back to his human form.

Cy: Pan gyrhaeddodd gwylwyr y cwmni i wahaddod ei arddangosiad, roedd Gareth, unwaith eto fel dyn, yn llawn cyffro a theimladau newydd.
En: When the company's spectators arrived to invite his demonstration, Gareth, once again as a man, was filled with excitement and new feelings.

Cy: Cydnabod tebaid o'i gydweithrediad, roedd e'n rhannu'r llwyddiant â Eira a Rhys.
En: Acknowledging the camaraderie of his collaboration, he shared the success with Eira and Rhys.

Cy: O'r oddeutu hwnnw ymlaen, daeth tîm Gareth yn fwy cydweithredol a llwyddiannus.
En: From that point onward, Gareth's team became more collaborative and successful.

Cy: Oes o dirladd defaid oedd wedi golygu'r ffordd i amseroedd newydd.
En: An era of sheep territory had paved the way to new times.

Cy: Roedd e'n sicr llwyddiant i bawb.
En: It was certainly a success for everyone.
