Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar ddiwrnod disglair o hydref yn Eagan, Minnesota, roedd Catrin wrth ei bodd yn glynu ei thraed o gwmpas y llain cwpwl gwanwynól.
En: On a bright autumn day in Eagan, Minnesota, Catrin was delighted to wrap her feet around the edge of a spring lawn.

Cy: Roedd y lle wedi'i beintio â lliwiau euraidd ac oren, gyda pheth sefyll y nenfwd glas drwy ei amgylchynnu.
En: The place was painted with golden and orange colors, with some blue ceiling peeking through its surroundings.

Cy: Doedd dim ond un bwriad gan Catrin: i orseddu'r arddangosfa pwmpen gorau yn y gymdogaeth dros Ddydd Diolchgarwch.
En: Catrin had only one intention: to set the best pumpkin display in the neighborhood for Thanksgiving.

Cy: Roedd hi'n teimlo'n benderfynol o wneud ei gardd y lle gorau i weld yr wledd bythgofiadwy gan elwa o ogoniant sinillion ffrwythlondeb yr hydref.
En: She felt determined to make her garden the best place to witness the unforgettable feast, benefiting from the glory of autumn’s fertility symphony.

Cy: "Wna i ddim yn cael unrhyw help," meddai Catrin yn hynaws wrth Rhys a Megan, ei ffrindiau da a ddaeth draw gyda hi o Gaerdydd am gefnogaeth emosiynol.
En: "I'm not getting any help," Catrin said kindly to Rhys and Megan, her good friends who had come with her from Cardiff for emotional support.

Cy: Meddyliodd ei bod hi'n gallu cario pob pwmpen, heb ots pa mor fawr a mawrgyrhaeddol oeddynt.
En: She thought she could carry every pumpkin, no matter how big and grand they were.

Cy: Glywsodd chwerthin plant yn chwarae o gwmpas, eu cyffro'n uchel yn yr aer.
En: She heard the laughter of children playing around, their excitement high in the air.

Cy: Ymddiddorodd y ffrindiau mewn iechyd hwyr yn wylio Catrin yn bwrw ymlaen i dynnu'r pwmpen mawr, cylchog gyda ei breichiau llawn.
En: The friends took a late interest in watching Catrin forge ahead to grab the big, round pumpkin with her arms full.

Cy: "Dwi'n cadw pob un," meddai hi'n ostyngedig, wrth iddi geisio cydbwyso'r cyrff dybryd gyda chob fiw fel ei ŵyddod oedd hi wedi ymladd â naid ymlaen.
En: "I'm keeping every one," she said modestly, as she tried to balance the hefty bodies with a brave cob, like she was fighting a giant leap forward.

Cy: Onid oedd yn annodd sefyll mewn lle?
En: Was it not difficult to stand in place?

Cy: Rhys a Megan yn syllu gyda hiwmor ar ei hwyneb.
En: Rhys and Megan gazed at her with humor on their faces.

Cy: Roedd y pwmpenni'n anodd i'w llethu ac roedd un — dim ond un — yn llithro allan o'i gafael, gan reibi gwthio'r lleill i ddisgyn fel nionynnau dros dau ben ei brawddeg.
En: The pumpkins were hard to handle, and one—just one—slipped from her grasp, causing the others to topple like onions over the edge of her sentence.

Cy: Gan barlysu, chwarddodd Catrin â thylwyth, disynnu ei mawredd ei hun.
En: Startled, Catrin laughed heartily, astonished at her own grandeur.

Cy: "Wel, efallai dwi angen ychydig o help.
En: "Well, maybe I do need a little help."

Cy: " Ei wyneb yn goch yn aildrechu ar Rhys a Megan.
En: Her face turned red as she turned to Rhys and Megan.

Cy: Heb unrhyw hogia, rhuthrodd Rhys i helpu, tra bod Megan yn dod â basged i arbed traed Catrin rhag rhag ofn.
En: Without any hesitation, Rhys rushed to help, while Megan brought a basket to save Catrin's feet just in case.

Cy: Gyda'r tîm hwnnw'n cydweithio i'w harddangos, roedd y pwmpenni yn dychwelyd, yma ac acw, mewn lwyddiant gwych.
En: With the team working together to display them, the pumpkins were back, here and there, in great success.

Cy: Wrth gynhyrfu, gwelodd Catrin pa mor hawdd gallai pethau fod gyda help ffrindiau.
En: Excitedly, Catrin saw how easy things could be with the help of friends.

Cy: Gyda'r pumpeni wedi'u llwytho i'r car i gyrraedd y cartref, mae Catrin yn ogystal â'i ffrindiau wedi cerfio atgof hyfryd erbyn gwneud hynny.
En: With the pumpkins loaded into the car to head home, Catrin and her friends carved a lovely memory in doing so.

Cy: Roedd yn braf gwybod bod hyd yn oed ym mhwysicaf y cynlluniau cystadleuol, byddwn ni'n ennill mwy gyda gwrthdystio a gyda'n gilydd.
En: It was nice to know that even in the most important competitive plans, we gain more with cooperation and togetherness.

Cy: Catrin dysgodd mai cydweithio oedd y gwir fuddugoliaeth.
En: Catrin learned that collaboration was the true victory.

Cy: Troi'r clasurol i gyd yn brofiad llawen, gan ychwanegu adlais i'r haul disglair oedd hi'n wynfydio.
En: Turning the classic into a joyful experience, adding a reflection of the bright sun she basked in.

Cy: "Y tro nesaf, byddai'n siŵr ddilyn eich cyngor chi," meddai Catrin wrth baratoi ei phwmpenni i arddangosfa'r wlad dan ei hun.
En: "Next time, I'll be sure to follow your advice," Catrin said as she prepared her pumpkins for her self-staged country display.

Cy: Ac yn hynny, adroddwyd stori o wledd symudol, pawb yn colli i'r lliwiau o'r gwanwyn hydrefol.
En: And with that, a story of a moving feast was told, everyone enveloped by the colors of the autumnal spring.
