Cy: Y stafelloedd, yn fawreddog a chanddynt fframiau euraid a cherfluniau clasurol, roeddent yn arbennig o hardd yn ystod y gwanwyn ac roedd y golau yn ddisglair yn y dydd. En: The rooms, majestic with their golden frames and classical sculptures, were particularly beautiful during the spring, and the light was bright during the day. Cy: Gareth, gard diogelwch gyda breuddwydion artistig, safodd wrth y drws, ei lygaid yn gorffwyso ar bob manylyn cain. En: Gareth, a security guard with artistic dreams, stood by the door, his eyes resting on every fine detail. Cy: Er trafodion y noson, roedd rhaff dynn o bryder yn tynhau ei stumog.

En: "A difficult place," said Carys, a colleague of Gareth in security. Cy: Roedd y dryswch yn gaerhäu. En: The confusion was intensifying. Cy: "Rhaid achub y noson!" En: "We must save the evening!"

En: When he peeked into a nearby darkened studio, a statue illuminated by torchlight emerged, a creation he had already known. Cy: "Adeiladwrhaeddwyd y ddelw hon gan Gareth," soniodd ef â phawb. En: "This statue was crafted by Gareth," he announced to everyone. Cy: Myfi Rhys, dylunion arlunydd lleol, daeth o hyd at Gareth, "Roedd hyn yn anghyffredin," meddyliodd Rhys. En: Rhys, a local artist, approached Gareth, "This was extraordinary," thought Rhys. Cy: “Caf ymddiddan efo cyfyngiadwr mawreddog y byd gelflice.” En: “I must converse with the extraordinary force within the art world.” Cy: Ar yr union eiliad y cannodd y goleuadau, trodd pawb tua gwaith Gareth. En: At the exact moment the lights turned back on, everyone turned to Gareth's artwork. Cy: Roedd ei waith celf yn unig o brydlesu. En: His art had become the sole attraction.
