Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd haul yr haf yn tywynnu'n braf dros Ardd Fotaneg dref leol.
En: The summer sun was shining brightly over the local town's Botanical Garden.

Cy: Roedd aroglau melys blodau'n llenwi'r aer wrth i ymwelwyr gerdded ar hyd llwybrau troellog yr ardd.
En: The sweet scents of flowers filled the air as visitors walked along the garden's winding paths.

Cy: Yno, cerddai Emyr, Nia a Rhiannon.
En: There, Emyr, Nia, and Rhiannon strolled.

Cy: Roeddent wedi dod i chwilio am blanhigion arbennig i ychwanegu at eu casgliadau.
En: They had come looking for special plants to add to their collections.

Cy: Roedd Emyr yn botanegydd, ac roedd wrth ei fodd gyda phlanhigion prin.
En: Emyr was a botanist, and he loved rare plants.

Cy: Roedd wedi clywed am flodyn arbennig iawn sydd yma yn yr ardd - un y mae wedi bod yn chwilio amdano ers tro.
En: He had heard about a very special flower here in the garden - one he had been searching for a long time.

Cy: Roedd Nia, ochr yn ochr, yn ffrind ac yn gyfrifol, yn edmygu symlrwydd natur.
En: Nia, walking by his side, was a friend and a responsible person, admiring the simplicity of nature.

Cy: Roedd Rhiannon newydd symud i'r dref ac yn awyddus i gyfarfod â phobl gyda'r un diddordebau.
En: Rhiannon had just moved to the town and was eager to meet people with similar interests.

Cy: Wrth gerdded i lawr y llwybr, dywedodd Emyr yn gyffrous, "Roeddwn i wedi clywed bod y planhigyn yma yn unigryw, ond mae'n anodd iawn dod o hyd iddo.
En: As they walked down the path, Emyr said excitedly, "I had heard that this plant is unique, but it's very difficult to find."

Cy: "Pan gyrhaeddasant ddangosfa'r planhigion, gwelodd Emyr y blodyn breuddwydiol hwnnw.
En: When they reached the plant display, Emyr saw that dreamy flower.

Cy: Roedd yr enw 'Blodyn fflam' ar y tag, blodyn gyda lliwiau bywiog fel y tân.
En: The name 'Blodyn fflam' was on the tag, a flower with vibrant colors like fire.

Cy: Ond ar y tag hefyd, roedd yn nodi mai 'arddangos yn unig,' nid er gwerthu.
En: But on the tag, it also noted 'display only,' not for sale.

Cy: "Dyma fo!
En: "There it is!"

Cy: " gwaeddodd Rhiannon gyda'r un brwdfrydedd, "Mae'n berffaith ar gyfer fy ngardd newydd.
En: exclaimed Rhiannon with equal enthusiasm, "It's perfect for my new garden."

Cy: " Roedd diddordeb yn siapio dehongli ei chyfle newydd.
En: Her interest was shaping the interpretation of her new opportunity.

Cy: Gwelodd Emyr nad oedd y planhigyn ar werth a'i galon yn suddo ychydig.
En: Emyr saw that the plant was not for sale, and his heart sank a little.

Cy: Yn gwrtais, dywedodd wrth Rhiannon sut yr oedd hefyd wedi bod wrthi'n chwilio am y planhigyn am flynyddoedd.
En: Politely, he told Rhiannon how he had also been searching for the plant for years.

Cy: "Efallai gallwn ni siarad â rheolwr yr ardd?
En: "Maybe we could talk to the garden manager?"

Cy: " Awgrymodd Nia, yn dawel ac yn gall.
En: suggested Nia, quietly and sensibly.

Cy: Cytunodd Emyr.
En: Emyr agreed.

Cy: Fe aeth ymlaen at reolwr yr ardd, sy'n gwrando'n amyneddgar ar eu cais.
En: He approached the garden manager, who listened patiently to their request.

Cy: Yn syndod, datgelwyd bod ail flodyn, un a heb ei flodeuo, wedi'i gadw yng nghefn yr ardd.
En: Surprisingly, it was revealed that there was a second flower, one that had not yet bloomed, kept at the back of the garden.

Cy: Ond dim ond un blodyn sydd.
En: But there was only one flower.

Cy: Roedd Emyr mewn penbleth, ond cynigiodd Nia syniad euraidd.
En: Emyr was in a dilemma, but Nia offered a golden idea.

Cy: "Beth am rannu'r gost a'r blodyn?
En: "Why don't we share the cost and the flower?

Cy: Gallwch chi dŷfu eich planhigion eich hunain o'r torion.
En: You can grow your own plants from the cuttings."

Cy: "Ac felly, cytunodd Emyr a Rhiannon.
En: And so, Emyr and Rhiannon agreed.

Cy: Roedd y penderfyniad i weithio mewn tîm yn dod â chyfeillgarwch newydd, gyda phob un yn edrych ymlaen at arbrofi gyda chyfnewidiadau planhigion yn garedig yn y dyfodol.
En: The decision to work as a team brought about a new friendship, with each looking forward to kindly experimenting with plant exchanges in the future.

Cy: Trwy wneud hynny, dysgodd Emyr, er mor bwysig yw cysylltiad â natur, gall yr un cysylltiad ag eraill fod yr un mor werthfawr, os nad yn fwy o'r fath.
En: In doing so, Emyr learned that while a connection with nature is important, a connection with others can be just as valuable, if not more so.

Cy: Roeddent yn gadael yr ardd gyda gobaith newydd, a syniad i gwrdd eto, i rannu llwyddiannau eu tyfu, oll yn cynnwys y Blodyn fflam.
En: They left the garden with new hope, and a plan to meet again, to share the successes of their growing endeavors, all including the Blodyn fflam.
