En: In the early spring, amidst the lively hustle of Gorsaf Maes, Rhys was avoiding all serious discussions by testing his stream of stories. Cy: Roedd ei goes wedi'i bandio'n dynn, yn gamlas ar-conna i atgofion a chwilfrydedd. En: His leg was wrapped tightly, a channel to memories and curiosity. Cy: "Siân, beth ti'n feddwl am fy teorïa newydd? En: "Siân, what do you think of my new theory?" Cy: " meddai Rhys yn gynnes, gyda disglyg yn ei lygad. En: Rhys said warmly, with a twinkle in his eye. Cy: "Meddylia hyn: mae 'na gysylltiad rhwng fy nghoes a'r tywydd! En: "Imagine this: there's a connection between my leg and the weather!" Cy: "Edrychodd Siân, y nyrs ofalgar, ar Rhys gyda sgeptigiaeth amlwg. En: Siân, the caring nurse, looked at Rhys with clear skepticism. Cy: "Rwy'n amheus, Rhys. En: "I'm doubtful, Rhys. Cy: Sut alla i goelio hynny? En: How can I believe that?" Cy: " atebodd hi, er bod gwên fach ar sudd ei hwyneb. En: she replied, though there was a small smile on her face. Cy: Gyda llaw, llusgodd Rhys y bolyn cotiaid tuag at ei lwyth o bapurau a nodiadau, pob un yn llawysgrif ei lafur hunan a'i gynllwynion llawen. En: With a gesture, Rhys dragged the coat stand towards his heap of papers and notes, each one penned in his own handwriting of self-written labor and cheerful conspiracies. Cy: "Rwy'n cynnig bet, Siân! En: "I propose a bet, Siân! Cy: Os bydd 'n glawio heno, wn i'n ennill. En: If it rains tonight, I win." Cy: "Gwenodd Siân yn awyddus, gan osgoi chwythu anadl yn gwbl swnllyd. En: Siân smiled eagerly, avoiding bursting into full-throated laughter. Cy: "Rhys, mae dal gennym rai cyfarfodydd i fynd drwy. En: "Rhys, we've still got some meetings to go through. Cy: Ond am syniad: gadael i weddill y staff ymuno! En: But here's an idea: let's get the rest of the staff involved!" Cy: "Yn raddol, lledaenodd y gair o gwmpas y gorsaf. En: Gradually, the word spread around the station. Cy: Roedd yr awyr yn orlawn o chwerthin tenau tra bod eun berthnasau eraill, fel 'Llywydd Rhys', yn erbyn cerdded i fyny'r grisiau at yr ystafell fawr. En: The air was filled with thin laughter as other colleagues, like 'President Rhys', refrained from walking up the stairs to the large room. Cy: Roedd awgrym disyched i wneud beth bynnag posib i gadw'r awyrgylch yn ffres. En: There was a thirsty suggestion to do anything possible to keep the atmosphere fresh. Cy: Bu hydra wedi'i wneud o Beti, y cynorthwyydd gwenerows. En: A hydra was made by Beti, the generous assistant. Cy: Goglais ei bryd tuag at Rhys ag argraffiad gwisgog, wrth edrych ar y gorchmynion crysal gydag wyneb lleol. En: She glanced towards Rhys with a dressed impression, while looking at the crystal orders with a local face. Cy: Daeth ddoe, a daeth yr amser i ddatgelu'r canlyniad i phob llygad oedd wedi dod. En: Yesterday came, and it was time to reveal the result to every eye present. Cy: Roedd y mwg yn crynhoi yn yr awyr, a'r holl olion yr ARWeinydd Milfedd Shakespeare oedd yn fwy o arwydd pryderus. En: Smoke gathered in the air, and all traces of the Milfedd Shakespeare Leader were more of a troubling sign. Cy: Cyn yr amser derfynol, diflannodd yr oleuni lawr i'r ddaear. En: Before the final moment, the light faded low to the ground. Cy: Datblygodd llwydni oedd yn o deledol, tarodd fflach filltir ac yna cyrhaeddodd y glaw - ond dim ond cwpl o ennyd. En: A mildew developed that was almost telepathic, a flash struck a mile away, and then the rain came - but only for a couple of moments. Cy: "Dwi'n dal i alcodi'r morol buddugoliaeth gen i," dywedodd Rhys yn feisty, gan roi mwgwd llydan dros ystod o bobl. En: "I'm still heralding my maritime victory," said Rhys feistily, spreading a wide grin over a range of people. Cy: Roedd Siân mor siomedig mewn gafodydd ac yn gwneud gwobr 'athronydd tywydd' o dywod a phapur trawsbynciol, ac yna rhoi iddo. En: Siân was so disappointed in meetings and made a ‘weather philosopher’ award from sand and cross-stitched paper, and then gave it to him. Cy: "Rhys, rwyt yn ychwanegu bywyd i'r ysbyty," cyfaddefodd hi, gan beidio â chuddio ei mawredd llawn. En: "Rhys, you bring life to the hospital," she admitted, not hiding her full extent of admiration. Cy: Yn y diwedd, sylweddolodd Rhys faint yr oedd ei deulu, a cherdded i'r ffenestr, yn edrych at y porth ar y picnic. En: In the end, Rhys realized the breadth of his family, and walked to the window, looking at the porch for the picnic. Cy: Roedd wedi agor ei galon i visita cartref gwendid anhepgor a Chymdeithas,—a gyda hynny, roedd Siân hefyd wedi darganfod hwyl y gwyro gwrth-gynnar a chynhesu clustai hen gyd-beirniadaeth.
