Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar fore braf, Dylan aeth i Barc Cenedlaethol Eryri.
En: On a fine morning, Dylan went to Snowdonia National Park.

Cy: Roedd yr haul yn disgleirio'n felyn ac roedd yr awyr yn glir.
En: The sun was shining yellow and the sky was clear.

Cy: Cyrhaeddodd bryn tal, Tal-y-Llyn, ac roedd yn edrych allan dros y golygfeydd godidog o'r mynyddoedd a'r llynnoedd.
En: He arrived at a tall hill, Tal-y-Llyn, and looked out over the magnificent views of the mountains and lakes.

Cy: Roedd Dylan yn mwynhau'r lletygarwch a'r tawelwch.
En: Dylan enjoyed the hospitality and tranquility.

Cy: Roedd yn cerdded llwybr cul.
En: He walked along a narrow path.

Cy: Yn sydyn, dechreuodd deimlo'n wael.
En: Suddenly, he started to feel unwell.

Cy: Roedd ei anadlu'n anodd.
En: His breathing was difficult.

Cy: Roedd ei frest yn dynn.
En: His chest was tight.

Cy: Sylweddolodd ei fod yn mynd trwy ymosodiad asthma difrifol.
En: He realized he was having a severe asthma attack.

Cy: Gafaelodd ei law wrth ei frest.
En: He clutched his hand to his chest.

Cy: Roedd yn gweithio’n galed i frwydro am anadl.
En: He was working hard to fight for breath.

Cy: Roedd ei feddwl yn rasio, yn celwyddo os gallai cyrraedd cymorth mewn pryd.
En: His mind raced, wondering if he could reach help in time.

Cy: Nid oedd neb i'w weld.
En: There was no one in sight.

Cy: Dim ond natur wyllt Eryri o'i gwmpas.
En: Only the wild nature of Snowdonia surrounded him.

Cy: Roedd Dylan yn chwysu ac yn teimlo'n ofnus.
En: Dylan was sweating and feeling fearful.

Cy: Cofiodd ei fod wedi dod ag inhaler gyda fe, ond roedd yn y bag, gormod yn bell i gyrraedd ar hyn o bryd.
En: He remembered that he had brought an inhaler with him, but it was in his bag, too far to reach at that moment.

Cy: Clywodd sŵn traed.
En: He heard the sound of footsteps.

Cy: Trodd ei ben.
En: He turned his head.

Cy: Roedd person arall yn dod ar hyd y llwybr.
En: Another person was coming along the path.

Cy: Roedd yn fenyw gyda chas mochyn.
En: It was a woman with a backpack.

Cy: Roedd hi'n nyrs, dywedodd hi.
En: She said she was a nurse.

Cy: Gwelodd hi Dylan mewn trafferth.
En: She saw Dylan in trouble.

Cy: Aeth hi'n gyflym ato.
En: She quickly went to him.

Cy: Agorodd hi ei bag a chymerodd allan adlydd asthma.
En: She opened her bag and took out an asthma inhaler.

Cy: Chwistrellodd hi'r meddyginiaeth i geg Dylan.
En: She administered the medication into Dylan's mouth.

Cy: Yr effeithiau bron yn syth.
En: The effects were almost immediate.

Cy: Roedd anadlu Dylan yn dychwelyd i normal.
En: Dylan's breathing returned to normal.

Cy: Diolchodd Dylan wrthi dro ar ôl tro.
En: He thanked her repeatedly.

Cy: "Ti'n iawn nawr," meddai hi'n dawel.
En: "You're okay now," she said calmly.

Cy: "Oes angen ffôn arnat ti i alw am gymorth?"
En: "Do you need a phone to call for help?"

Cy: "Dwi'n iawn... diolch," atebodd Dylan gyda gwen wan.
En: "I'm okay... thank you," Dylan replied with a weak smile.

Cy: Roedd yn ddiolchgar iawn.
En: He was very grateful.

Cy: Roedd yn chwilfrydig am ei achubwr dirgel.
En: He was curious about his mysterious rescuer.

Cy: Dysgodd bod Rhian oedd ei henw.
En: He learned that her name was Rhian.

Cy: Treuliodd Dylan weddill y diwrnod yn arafach, yn ddiolchgar am ei achub ac am y ffordd y gall pobl ddod i'w gilydd mewn adegau o angen.
En: Dylan spent the rest of the day more slowly, grateful for his rescue and for the way people can come together in times of need.

Cy: Ac felly, mynyddoedd Eryri dawel wedyn.
En: And so, the mountains of Snowdonia were quiet again.

Cy: Mae'n rhaid cofio gofalu am ein hunain a phwy sydd o'n cwmpas.
En: It is important to remember to take care of ourselves and those around us.

Cy: Mae'n dda gobeithio bod pobun dd gael help ar adegau o angen, ond mae angen bod yn wyliadwrus.
En: While it’s good to hope that everyone can get help when needed, we must stay vigilant.

Cy: Nod dieithr Rhian wedi achub Dylan gyda'i pharodrwydd i helpu.
En: The stranger Rhian had saved Dylan with her readiness to help.

Cy: Roedd yn rhoi gobeithiad newydd iddo.
En: She gave him new hope.

Cy: Roedd y diwrnod wedi gorffen yn dda, ac roedd cyfrinachau Natur yn dal i ddisgleirio yn haul dwyrain o Eryri.
En: The day had ended well, and the secrets of Nature continued to shine in the eastern sun of Snowdonia.
