En: In the early spring, when the first flowers were in full bloom in Eryri, Emrys, Carys, and Gareth stood amidst the famous landscape of Bodnant Garden. Cy: Roedd y tri yn gydweithwyr cyfarwydd, ond roedd ganddynt syniadau gwahanol am sut i drefnu yr ŵyl ganol haf sydd ar y gweill. En: The three were familiar colleagues, but they had different ideas on how to organize the upcoming midsummer festival. Cy: Roedd Emrys yn ffitheol dros ben, yn gwerthfawrogi trefn a natur. En: Emrys was very methodical, appreciating order and nature. Cy: Carys, ar y llaw arall, yn weledol a llawn dychymyg, yn angerddol dros gelf a dylunio. En: Carys, on the other hand, was visual and full of imagination, passionate about art and design. Cy: Gareth oedd yr un syml, ymarferol, gyda’i draed ar y ddaear, yn canolbwyntio ar logisteg. En: Gareth was the practical one, with his feet on the ground, focused on logistics. Cy: “Mae angen creu rhywbeth arbennig iawn,” meddai Emrys gyda golwg difrifol, “Rhaid i bawb sy’n dod deimlo’r hanes a harddwch naturiol.” En: “We need to create something very special,” said Emrys with a serious look, “Everyone who comes must feel the history and natural beauty.” Cy: “Beth am gerfluniau blodau mawr?” awgrymodd Carys, ei ochrau llygaid yn disgleirio o gyffro. En: “What about large flower sculptures?” suggested Carys, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Cy: “Cerfluniau yn braf,” atebodd Gareth, “ond syniais i na fyddai’r cei eleth modd os bydd hi’n bwrw glaw.” En: “Sculptures are nice,” replied Gareth, “but I reckon they wouldn't hold up if it rains.” Cy: Roedd y dadlau ymhlith y tri wedi parhau am oriau, bob dydd. En: The arguing among the three continued for hours every day. Cy: Pob un yn caru Bodnant yn ei ffordd ei hun. En: Each loved Bodnant in their own way. Cy: Emrys yn credu y gallai eu syniadau unedig greu rhywbeth anhygoel. En: Emrys believed that their combined ideas could create something amazing. Cy: Wrth edrych ar y flwyddyn flaenorol, penderfynodd roi cynnig ar gyfuno syniadau Carys â phriodoldeb Gareth. En: Looking at the previous year, he decided to try merging Carys' ideas with Gareth's practicality. Cy: “Gadewch i ni weithio gyda’n gilydd. Fe wnawn yn well y ffordd yma.” En: “Let's work together. We’ll do better this way.” Cy: Arholi disodli tirlun bendigedig o dan gysgod y mynyddoedd, roedd gwaith yn mynd rhagddo’n dda. En: Examining the beautiful landscape under the shadow of the mountains, work was progressing well. Cy: Roedd llwybrau wedi’u goleuo a gerddi blodau’n cyfleu storïau a chymeriadau. En: Paths were illuminated, and flower gardens conveyed stories and characters. Cy: Fodd bynnag, wrth iddynt fwrw ymlaen, daeth cymylau duon yn tua’r nos cyn y ŵyl. En: However, as they proceeded, dark clouds gathered the evening before the festival. Cy: Cwympai law trwm, a oedd yn bygwth difrodi’r setup cyfan. En: Heavy rain fell, threatening to ruin the entire setup. Cy: “Arlwywch bopeth o dan garpedi trwm a tharpau!” galwodd Gareth yn gyflym. En: “Cover everything with heavy carpets and tarps!” called out Gareth quickly. Cy: “Os gallwch chi helpu i geisio achub y cerfluniau blodau, byddai hynny’n wych!” ychwanegodd Carys. En: “If you can help save the flower sculptures, that would be great!” added Carys. Cy: Gyda’r tri yn cydweithio, cawsant bopeth wedi’i stemio ysbyrlig, ac roeddol gwir ysbryd tîm. En: With all three working together, they got everything secured swiftly, demonstrating true team spirit. Cy: Er yn wlyb llaith, dywedodd Emrys yn ddiogel, “We’ve done it together. The show must go on.” En: Though wet and damp, Emrys safely said, “We've done it together. The show must go on.” Cy: Pan gododd y haul ar ddiwrnod yr ŵyl, roedd Bodnant fel cyfanrwydd. En: When the sun rose on the festival day, Bodnant shone in its entirety. Cy: Roedd popeth yn fythgofiadwy, o’r llwyfan i’r golygfeydd wedi’u goleuo mewn gwawl gwanwyn. En: Everything was unforgettable, from the stage to the views illuminated in spring light. Cy: Edrychodd y gwesteion i fyny a meddwl mai hon oedd yr ŵyl orau a oeddent erioed wedi mynychu.
