Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar hosanau melfedog ar y llawr llithrig, Aeron dringo'r grisiau creaky i'r atig.
En: On the velvet socks on the slippery floor, Aeron climbed the creaky stairs to the attic.

Cy: Y tymor oedd Hydref, a'r coed o gwmpas y tŷ fawr yn dawnsio yn y gwynt trwm.
En: The season was autumn, and the trees around the big house were dancing in the strong wind.

Cy: Roedd y tywydd perffaith ar gyfer noson Calan Gaeaf, ac Aeron yn llawn cyffro.
En: The weather was perfect for a Halloween night, and Aeron was full of excitement.

Cy: Wrth iddo agor drws yr atig, roedd hen arogl llwch yn ei symud.
En: As he opened the attic door, an old smell of dust moved him.

Cy: Roedd Aeron yn chwilio am dlysau teuluol hen.
En: Aeron was searching for old family treasures.

Cy: Ei gyrru oedd y chwilfrydedd am hanes cuddiedig, ac efallai, cyfrinachau newydd.
En: His curiosity was driven by hidden history, and perhaps, new secrets.

Cy: Tra'n agor un o'r bocsys, daeth o hyd i ddyddiadur.
En: While opening one of the boxes, he found a diary.

Cy: Roedd y lledr melyn a'r tudalennau hen yn gwneud iddo fod yn ddirgelwch hollol.
En: The yellow leather and old pages made it a complete mystery.

Cy: Ar frys, aeth Aeron at ei chwaer, Carys.
En: In a hurry, Aeron went to his sister, Carys.

Cy: "Edrych ar hyn," meddai, ei lygaid yn disgleirio.
En: "Look at this," he said, his eyes shining.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn cynhyrfu.
En: Carys was unenthusiastic.

Cy: "Dydw i ddim mewn hwyl i stori ddyddiadur arall, Aeron," dywedodd hi trwy ysgwyd ei phen.
En: "I'm not in the mood for another diary story, Aeron," she said while shaking her head.

Cy: Mynd i lawr i'r gegin oedd ei bwriad.
En: Her intention was to go down to the kitchen.

Cy: "Ond Carys, mae'n swnio'n gyffrous.
En: "But Carys, it sounds exciting.

Cy: Cyfrinach teuluol wedi'i chuddio!
En: A hidden family secret!"

Cy: " Aeron yn gweiddi.
En: Aeron shouted.

Cy: Roedd angen ei helpu.
En: He needed her help.

Cy: Er ei anfodlonrwydd cychwynnol, cytunodd Carys i helpu gyda chyfrinach yr hen ysgrifen.
En: Despite her initial reluctance, Carys agreed to help with the secret of the old writing.

Cy: Dechreuodd eu hantur gyda'r her gyntaf – y cod.
En: Their adventure began with the first challenge – the code.

Cy: Nid oedd y geiriau'n hawdd darllen.
En: The words were not easy to read.

Cy: "Mae'n rhaid i ni ddeall hyn," meddai Aeron gyda phenderfyniad.
En: "We have to understand this," said Aeron with determination.

Cy: Y gwobr, yn ôl Aeron, oedd antur.
En: The reward, according to Aeron, was an adventure.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn siŵr nad oedd y cod hwn yn dylifrio.
En: Carys was sure that this code wasn't gibberish.

Cy: Ei rhiant oedd eu prioledd pa bryd erioed allan.
En: Their parents had never prioritized it before.

Cy: Ni chawsant lawer o amser gyda'i gilydd.
En: They didn't get much time together.

Cy: Roedd angen i'r brawd a'r chwaer weithio'n gyflym.
En: The brother and sister needed to work quickly.

Cy: Blynyddoedd teuluoedd yn dal ymateb yng nghornelau eu calonnau wrth i Aeron a Carys eu harchwilio gyda phenderfyniad.
En: Years of family history quietly resonated in the corners of their hearts as Aeron and Carys explored them with determination.

Cy: Wedi sesiynau hir, gyda thalpau o gaws ar ben tost i gyplu'r amser, llwyddwyd i ddatrus y dirgelwch.
En: After long sessions, with chunks of cheese on toast to pair the time, they managed to solve the mystery.

Cy: "Digon rhybudd, mae ystafell gudd yn ein tŷ!
En: "Enough warning, there's a hidden room in our house!"

Cy: " meddai Carys yn annifrif.
En: said Carys jokingly.

Cy: Roedd yr ysgrifen yn tynnu llun o'r lle.
En: The writing drew a picture of the place.

Cy: Yn ôl y disgrifiad, roedd rhywbeth gwerthfawr yn aros.
En: According to the description, something valuable was waiting.

Cy: Dilynodd Aeron a Carys yr awgrymiadau.
En: Aeron and Carys followed the clues.

Cy: Casglwyd yn ofalus drwy'r coridorau, a rhwng y llofftiau.
En: They carefully gathered through the corridors, and between the lofts.

Cy: Yn o'r diwedd, roedd y drws cudd – dan ddesg trin yr hen ystafell fyw.
En: Eventually, there was the hidden door – beneath the old living room desk.

Cy: Codi'r drws, a gwelwyd storfa o bethau – nid aur, ond llythyrau a lluniau.
En: Lifting the door, they saw a store of things – not gold, but letters and photographs.

Cy: Cafodd yr hyn a ddarganfyddasant arwyddocâd.
En: What they discovered was meaningful.

Cy: Roedd hanes teulu, llond llaw o dreftadaeth na wyddent erioed.
En: It was family history, a handful of heritage they never knew.

Cy: Dim ond drwy ddeall y gorffennol, roedd Aeron a Carys yn deall gwerth eu teulu.
En: Only by understanding the past did Aeron and Carys comprehend the value of their family.

Cy: Roedd y dirgelwch ddim yn ymwneud ag incwm, ond am gysylltiadau teuluol.
En: The mystery was not about wealth, but about family connections.

Cy: Aeron a Carys wedi dod yn nes, ac ar flwyddyn nesaf, maen nhw'n barodd am antur arall, gyda mwy o werthfawrogiad na chyfrinachedd.
En: Aeron and Carys became closer, and next year, they are ready for another adventure, with more appreciation than secrecy.

Cy: Roedd cynghanedd o ddarganfyddiad a phleser o sesiwn atgyweirio cysylltiadau.
En: There was a harmony of discovery and pleasure from the session of mending connections.

Cy: Roedd y lluniau'n cynnig stori – un o deulu, cariad, a hanes oedd yn llewn mor werthfawr â'r eitemau oeddent yn disgwyl.
En: The pictures offered a story – one of family, love, and history that was as valuable as the items they were expecting.
