En: In the Oriel y Ddinas, the children were climbing out of the school bus, their eyes eager as they remembered the exciting day and its promises. Cy: Roedd dail brown a melyn yr hydref yn swnio tan draed wrth iddynt fynd tuag at y drws mawr. En: The brown and yellow autumn leaves crunched underfoot as they headed towards the big door. Cy: Ymhell ar y blaen, cerddodd Carys gyda'i ffordd gyfarwydd; roedd yr Oriel Naturiol yn lle cyfarwydd iddi. En: Far ahead, Carys walked with her familiar gait; the Oriel Naturiol was a familiar place for her. Cy: Roedd hi'n gwybod sawl peth am ddinosoriaid a hanes y ddaear. En: She knew a lot about dinosaurs and the history of the earth. Cy: Roedd ei breuddwyd am astudio archeoleg yn tanio ei hangerdd. En: Her dream of studying archaeology fueled her passion. Cy: Ond yn sownd rhywfaint yn ôl, cerddodd Emrys. En: But lagging somewhat behind, Emrys walked. Cy: Roedd yn edrych o gwmpas, ansicr. En: He looked around, uncertain. Cy: Nid oedd yn teimlo'n gysurus, yn enwedig gyda'r prosiect oedd angen ei gwblhau yma. En: He didn't feel comfortable, especially with the project that needed to be completed here. Cy: Roedd ganddo brofiadau o deimlo braidd yn annigonol mewn gwaith ysgol. En: He had experienced feeling somewhat inadequate in schoolwork before. Cy: "Carys!" galwodd Emrys arni, yn ceisio cyrraedd ei ochr. En: "Carys!" Emrys called to her, trying to catch up to her side. Cy: Roedd Carys yn stopio a'n gwenu arno. En: Carys stopped and smiled at him. Cy: "Helo, Emrys. Barod i fynd ar antur?" En: "Hello, Emrys. Ready to go on an adventure?" Cy: Noddodd Emrys yn betrusgar. En: Emrys nodded hesitantly. Cy: "Rhaid bod hynny'n hwyliog gyda'r un gwybodus fel ti," meddai'n llawen ond gydag ansicrwydd. En: "That must be fun with someone knowledgeable like you," he said cheerfully but with uncertainty. Cy: "Felly, gweithio gyda'n gilydd?" awgrymodd Carys. En: "So, working together?" suggested Carys. Cy: Yn eistedd ar fainc ger y sgerbwd mawr o ddinosaur, cafodd eu prosiect ei ddechrau. En: Sitting on a bench near the large dinosaur skeleton, their project began. Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw weithio, ychwanegodd gwybodaeth Carys haen o frwdfrydedd i'r prosiect. En: As they worked, Carys's knowledge added a layer of enthusiasm to the project. Cy: Yna, roeddent yn cerdded tuag at yr adran enfysol lle roedd hen fosiliau'n cael eu harddangos. En: Then, they walked towards the vibrant section where ancient fossils were displayed. Cy: Wrth fynd heibio i un o'r gwydro danbryd, gwaeddodd Carys yn sydyn. En: As they passed one of the glass cabinets, Carys suddenly shouted. Cy: Roedd y ddau wedi dod ar draws fosil unigryw, yn ymgorfforiad o rywbeth a oedd efallai'n anhysbys i'r curaduron hyd yma. En: The two had come across a unique fossil, an embodiment of something that perhaps was unknown to the curators until now. Cy: Daeth eu hathro, Mr. Evans, atynt wrth glywed yr hysteria cyffrous. En: Their teacher, Mr. Evans, came over to them when he heard the excited commotion. Cy: "Beth ydych chi wedi ei ddarganfod, chi dau?" gofynnodd gyda churiad ei galon yn cyflymu, tra'n edrych ar y darganfyddiad a oedd wedi taro'r ddau ddisgybl. En: "What have you two discovered?" he asked with his heart racing, as he looked at the discovery that had startled the two students. Cy: Chwilio'n ofalus, dechreuodd Mr. Evans wenu yn ehangach. En: Examining carefully, Mr. Evans began to smile more broadly. Cy: "Wel, bydd hwn yn ychwanegu rhywbeth arbennig iawn i'r arddangosfa," meddai'n bendant. En: "Well, this will add something very special to the exhibit," he said confidently. Cy: Roedd Emrys yn edrych at Carys ac yna i Mr. Evans. En: Emrys looked at Carys and then at Mr. Evans. Cy: Am y tro cyntaf ers amser maith, teimlai Emrys yn falch o'i gyfraniad. En: For the first time in a long while, Emrys felt proud of his contribution. Cy: Ei gwenu'n pefrio wrth glywed y geiriau. En: His smile sparkled at hearing the words. Cy: Mae'r diwrnod yn dod i ben wrth i'r plant gasglu at eu hunain. En: The day wrapped up as the children gathered themselves together. Cy: Roedd y gôl ar ben Emrys yn deimlad o hyder newydd. En: The glow on Emrys's face was a feeling of newfound confidence. Cy: Er nad oedd yn arbenigwr mewn dinosauriau fel Carys, roedd wedi profi iddo'i hun ei fod yn gallu cyflawni pethau mawr. En: Though he was not an expert in dinosaurs like Carys, he had proven to himself that he could achieve great things. Cy: Wrth iddynt gerdded tuag at y bws, sylweddolai Emrys ei fod yn fwy agored i brofiadau newydd. En: As they walked towards the bus, Emrys realized he was more open to new experiences. Cy: Teimlodd nerth newydd i gofrestru am fwy o gyfleoedd. En: He felt a new strength to sign up for more opportunities. Cy: Roedd dysg Carys wedi rhoi iddo fwy nag unrhyw-athro arall. En: Carys's knowledge had given him more than any other teacher. Cy: "Gad i ni wneud hyn eto," meddyliodd Emrys gydag ymdeimlad o bwrpas clir, gan ddal dail a oedd yn disgyn wrth iddo fynd. En: "Let's do this again," thought Emrys with a sense of clear purpose, catching falling leaves as he went. Cy: Roedd hydref wedi newid Emrys, a newydd gychwyn ei stori newydd. En: Autumn had changed Emrys, and a new story had just begun.
