Cy: Edrychodd i lawr ar ei ddillad, yn teimlo fel sbardun i chwerthin unrhyw un fyddai'n cerdded heibio. En: He looked down at his clothes, feeling like the butt of the joke to anyone passing by. Cy: "Dyn, a angen cerdyn i fynd yn ôl i mewn nawr," meddai Gareth iddo'i hun yn llawenwinda. En: "Man, I need a card to get back in now," he said to himself with a wry smile. Cy: Dyma lle daeth Carys i'r awel. En: That's where Carys came into the picture. Cy: Roedd hi'n arfer tynnu coes Gareth am faterion o'r fath. En: She often teased Gareth about things like this. Cy: Am eiliad, roedd Gareth wedi petruso gofyn am help ohono hi, ond fe benderfynodd wneud. En: For a moment, Gareth hesitated to ask for her help, but he decided to do it. Cy: "Carys! En: "Carys!" Cy: " oedd ei waedd desperado. En: was his desperate call. Cy: Roedd hi'n dod i lawr y coridor, gwên gwych ar ei hwyneb. En: She was coming down the corridor, a beaming smile on her face.

En: "I forgot to lock it, can you help me?" Cy: " meddai Gareth gyda gelyn ddiolchgar ar ei lais. En: said Gareth with a grateful tone in his voice. Cy: "Wel, mae’n rhaid i rywun rhoi peth sbort i’r anrhydeedig," atebodd hi, ond fe agorodd y drws. En: "Well, someone has to provide some sport to the dignified," she replied, but she opened the door. Cy: Cyn gynted ag y medrodd, Gareth ffrwyth fesul tair cam i mewn i’w ystafell. En: As soon as he could, Gareth darted three steps into his room. Cy: Ond doedd dim amser i newid. En: But there was no time to change. Cy: Roedd y cyfweliad yn dechrau mewn munudau.
