Story Transcript:
Cy: Ar ddiwrnod llawn heulwen ar draeth hardd Cymru, roedd plant ysgol wedi cyrraedd ar drip maes arbennig.
En: On a sunny day at a beautiful beach in Cymru, schoolchildren had arrived on a special field trip.
Cy: Roedd gwynt y gwanwyn yn chwythu, a golau haul yn creu patrymau arian ar wyneb y môr.
En: The spring wind was blowing, and the sunlight was creating silver patterns on the surface of the sea.
Cy: Yn eu plith, cerddodd Gareth, Eira, a Rhys ar hyd yr arfordir, yn ymweld ag un o'r traethau mwyaf prydferth yn y wlad.
En: Among them, Gareth, Eira, and Rhys walked along the coastline, visiting one of the most beautiful beaches in the country.
Cy: Roedd Gareth, bachgen llawn chwilfrydedd ond yn introvert, yn cerdded ychydig yn ôl o’i ffrindiau.
En: Gareth, a curious but introverted boy, walked a little behind his friends.
Cy: Roedd Eira a Rhys eisoes yn sgrechian ac yn bownsio ar hyd y tywod, barod i gychwyn gemau gyda’u pêl fôr newydd.
En: Eira and Rhys were already shouting and bouncing across the sand, ready to start games with their new beach ball.
Cy: Ond roedd Gareth yn meddwl am rywbeth arall.
En: But Gareth was thinking about something else.
Cy: Roedd ganddo brosiect bioleg i’w gwblhau.
En: He had a biology project to complete.
Cy: Ei nod oedd dod o hyd i gasgliad unigryw o gregyn gleision, wedi eu cuddio o fewn smotiau cyfrinachol y traeth.
En: His goal was to find a unique collection of blue shells, hidden within the beach's secret spots.
Cy: Er bod y tywydd wedi dechrau’n heulog, roedd pob un ohonynt yn gwybod pa mor newidlyd allai’r arfordir fod yn ystod y gwanwyn.
En: Although the weather had started sunny, they all knew how changeable the coast could be during the spring.
Cy: Ystyriai Gareth ei opsiynau.
En: Gareth considered his options.
Cy: A ddylai ymuno â’i ffrindiau yn eu gemau?
En: Should he join his friends in their games?
Cy: Neu gychywyn ar ei helfa arbennig, gwybod bod glaw anymwriadol yn gallu chwalu ei ymdrechion?
En: Or start his special hunt, knowing that unexpected rain could ruin his efforts?
Cy: Tra roedd Eira a Rhys yn chwerthin ac yn taflu’r bêl, plygodd Gareth wrth ei liniau, chwilio drwy’r tywod euraidd am gregyn.
En: While Eira and Rhys were laughing and throwing the ball, Gareth knelt down, searching through the golden sand for shells.
Cy: Mewn munudau, daeth ar draws cregyn gydag amrywiaeth o siapiau a lliwiau, yn cynnig lliwiau mewnosodiedig o las tywyll a pinc ysgafn.
En: Within minutes, he came across shells with a variety of shapes and colors, offering embedded hues of dark blue and light pink.
Cy: Wrth i oriau fynd heibio, daeth Gareth ar draws cregen arbennig.
En: As the hours passed, Gareth found a special shell.
Cy: Roedd hi’n fawr yn ei law, yn sgleinio yn yr haul fel yr un mwyaf prydferth a welai erioed.
En: It was large in his hand, gleaming in the sun as the most beautiful one he had ever seen.
Cy: Yn sydyn, roedd glaw yn dechrau disgyn—gollwng cymylau du dros yr arfordir.
En: Suddenly, the rain began to fall—casting dark clouds over the coast.
Cy: Daeth storm gyflym â glaw trwm a gwyntoedd cryfach.
En: A swift storm brought heavy rain and stronger winds.
Cy: "Mae’n rhaid i ni fynd!
En: "We have to go!"
Cy: " gwaeddodd Rhys wrth Eira, yn rhedeg i gyfeiriad y lloches.
En: shouted Rhys to Eira
