Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar fore llachar o haf yn Ninbych y Pysgod, roedd yr haul yn disgleirio ar y dŵr a'r awel hafog yn gwasgu drwy'r traeth tywodlyd.
En: On a bright summer morning in Dinbych y Pysgod, the sun was shining on the water, and the warm breeze was sweeping across the sandy beach.

Cy: Roedd Aneira, Carwyn, a Tegwen eisoes wedi gosod eu hetiau haul, a bwrdd bach wedi’i lenwi â bwyd cartref ar y traeth prysur.
En: Aneira, Carwyn, and Tegwen had already donned their sun hats, and a small table filled with homemade food was set up on the busy beach.

Cy: "Mae'n ddiwrnod perffaith," meddai Aneira yn gyffrous, gan edrych allan ar y môr. Roedd hi wedi cynllunio’r prynhawn hwn ers wythnosau, yn awyddus i greu atgofion melys gyda'i ffrindiau.
En: "It's a perfect day," said Aneira excitedly, looking out at the sea. She had been planning this afternoon for weeks, eager to create sweet memories with her friends.

Cy: "Wel, gobeithio ddim yn cael unrhyw amharu gan yr adar," meddai Carwyn, gan edrych yn ddiogel o dan ei hen het ben, yn edrych ar y môr. Doedd Carwyn ddim yn fwyaf hoff o adar, o fathau uchel na pheth arall, ac roedd hynny'n gyfrinach iddo.
En: "Well, let's hope we don't get any disturbances from the birds," said Carwyn, looking cautiously from under his old cap at the sea. Carwyn wasn't a fan of birds, whether loud kinds or otherwise, and that was a secret of his.

Cy: Tegwen, ar y llaw arall, oedd yr anturiwr eu plith, gyda'i llyfr braslunio yn ei dwylo bob amser yn barod i ddal yr hyn a ddigwyddai o'i gwmpas ar bapur.
En: Tegwen, on the other hand, was the adventurer among them, always with her sketchbook in hand, ready to capture whatever occurred around her on paper.

Cy: Roedd popeth yn Gymraeg pan, yn sydyn, cerflun o wenoliaid môr oer yn llinellau hir drosto gwrdd â'r bwrdd picnic. Sgrechiodd Aneira wrth weld amdo o ddelweddau gwyn a llwyd yn fflachio i lawr yn gyflym.
En: Everything was peaceful when, suddenly, a sculpture of arctic terns in long lines converged towards the picnic table. Aneira screamed as a canopy of white and gray images flashed rapidly downward.

Cy: "Awyren!" gwaeddodd Carwyn gan gylchdroi'n gyflym, yn ceisio cuddio'n ddiungain y tu ôl i Tegwen. Ond byddent ddim wedi disgwyl y darpar mewn fory o ddyfalbarhad yr adar môr hynod yma.
En: "Plane!" yelled Carwyn, spinning quickly, trying to hide instantly behind Tegwen. But they wouldn't have expected the sheer tenacity of these extraordinary sea birds.

Cy: O fewn eiliadau byr, dechreuodd y seagulls eu hymgyrch ei fwydo gan ddod â ‘no rations’ eu hunain, ynghyd â phlu hawdd y bwrdd, stori ychwanegol yn y bôn eu profiadau diwrnod.
En: Within moments, the seagulls began their assault, fueled by their own "no rations," along with the table's easy plunder, an extra story to their day’s experiences.

Cy: Aneira digynnwrf ceisio eu gyrru i ffwrdd, gan chwifie’r napcynau fel baner ferdod, ond roedd yr adar yn benderfynol. Carwyn wedi'i hanner cysgodi o dan ei dat. Tadwen â chipio ei braslunyn, ei llaw a allai'n cael ei gafael yn yr ymran.
En: Aneira, undeterred, tried to drive them away, waving the napkins like a valiant flag, but the birds were determined. Carwyn was half-sheltered under his cap. Tegwen grabbed her sketchbook, her hand capturing the chaos.

Cy: Ond wedyn, cysylltiad chwip tua i lawr ac atyn nhw, gwelodd y seagulls ei gyfle—y brechdanaud. Codi yno i'r awyr i ffwrdd gyda’r cyfleuster, maen nhw’n un cipio yr adar yn y ffordd maen nhw’n niwliedig.
En: But then, with a swooping dive towards them, the seagulls saw their chance—the sandwiches. Rising into the sky, they took the opportunity, snatching them with foggy precision.

Cy: "Wir!" gwaeddodd Tegwen, gan fraslunio hynod o’r chwedl anghredadwy ar bopeth a ddigwyddai. Ar unwaith, dechreuodd yr olygfa dodlawr o frith. Ffwlhaodd!
En: "Wow!" cried Tegwen, sketching the incredible saga unfolding. Immediately, the scene burst into chaos. How chaotic!

Cy: Er sioc cyntaf, daeth y chwerthin yn dodl ar lan y traeth. Rhyddhaodd y sgrechiadau siomedigwynt a bynwyltu nes i diwedd y bysys. Yn dod o’r eu llond o grwst, grymusun fwy o’r bwyd fydd yn fendigedig i gael.
En: After the initial shock, laughter soon rippled along the beach. The cries of disappointment swirled and faded as the sandwiches vanished. No longer were they filled with pastries, powered by snacking now wondrous to have.

Cy: Ar y diwedd, wedi syrthio'n ôl ar y traeth gyda'r haul yn dadleithio diweddiad arnynt, llogant y trywydd o gwmpas yn cofnodi'r hanes mewn tudalenau ewystl ymgynefro gan gawrthia hadgasg. Achewbiaeth o chwerthinodd Carwyn wrth weld delwedd Tadwen yn ddal y fennod.
En: In the end, they collapsed back on the beach, the sun casting its late glow on them, capturing the essence of the day's events in the borrowed pages of their reflections. Laughter overcame Carwyn as he saw Tegwen's depiction of the episode.

Cy: "Doedd y diwrnod hwn ddim yn berffaith, ond mi fydd y diwrnod gafodd ei gofio," dywedodd Aneira gyda'r math o ddiolchgarwch na ellir egluro.
En: "Today wasn't perfect, but it will be a day to remember," said Aneira with a kind of gratitude that can't be explained.

Cy: Ac felly fu, yn Ninbych y Pysgod lle y tu hwnt i’r môr glas ac yn eu pwyll amgylchedd gan fod dim ond y daith atgof, a’r prysur dymor o’i anturiaethau फ angen; dyweddai newydd fod.
En: And so it was, in Dinbych y Pysgod, beyond the blue sea and their calm surroundings, there was nothing but the memory path, and the busy season of their adventures needed no more explanation—it simply was.
