Story Transcript:
Cy: Mae'r bore yn y pentref bychan dan leoliad bryniau mynyddig Eryri yn dechrau gyda'r gwynt yn prysuro trwy'r coed. En: The morning in the small village nestled among the mountainous hills of Eryri begins with the wind rushing through the trees.
Cy: Mae Gwilym, garddwr balch y pentref, yn sefyll yn ei ardd. En: Gwilym, the proud gardener of the village, stands in his garden.
Cy: Mae’r coed yn disgleirio’n aur a choch, ac mae’r awyrgylch yn llythryn a glaswellt Autumn yn berffaith. En: The trees are shimmering in gold and red, and the atmosphere is wonderfully autumnal.
Cy: Gwilym yw'r gŵr ifanc sy'n gobeithio ennill cystadleuaeth pwmpenni'r pentref eleni. En: Gwilym is the young man hoping to win the village's pumpkin competition this year.
Cy: Yn flynyddol, mae’r pentrefwyr yn meirw a chodi waliau o bêds crefftus a choleuadau wedi'u lloriau am y gŵyl ddigwyddiad blynyddol. En: Annually, the villagers hustle to build creative displays and lights for this festive annual event.
Cy: Ond troeon y flwyddyn hon yn wahanol. En: But this year's circumstances are different.
Cy: Er bod Gwilym wedi tyfu pwmpen arall, mae wedi sylwi nawr ei bod yn gymharol fychan. En: Although Gwilym has grown another pumpkin, he now notices that it's relatively small.
Cy: Mae'n cofio dan ddinistriad 🤦♂️: roedd wedi cymysgu hadau pwmpen â’r tomato! En: He remembers with frustration 🤦♂️ that he had mixed pumpkin seeds with tomato seeds!
Cy: Mae Carys, ei ffrind o blentyndod, yn gwybod am hoffter Gwilym gyda garddwriaeth. En: Carys, his childhood friend, knows about Gwilym's passion for gardening.
Cy: Er bob blynedd mae hi wedi curo Gwilym yn y gystadleuaeth ychydig. En: Although every year she has beaten Gwilym in the competition by a little.
Cy: Y tro hwn, mae hi'n gwybod na fydd yn rhwydd iddo ef. En: This time, she knows it won't be easy for him.
Cy: Ac eto, mae'n parhau i gymryd rhan. En: Yet, he continues to take part.
Cy: Yna mae Eira, newyddiadurwr chwilfrydig, yn cyrraedd i gofnodi cystadleuaeth pwmpenni'r pentref. En: Then Eira, a curious journalist, arrives to cover the village's pumpkin competition.
Cy: Mae'n gyffrous iawn i ddogfennu'r miri sy'n britho'r pentref ar y diwrnod mawr. En: She is very excited to document the merriment that fills the village on the big day.
Cy: Dyma yw ei swydd gyntaf yn y papur lleol, felly mae hi'n dangos brwdfrydedd cryf. En: This is her first assignment for the local paper, so she shows great enthusiasm.
Cy: Ar fore'r gystadleuaeth, mae trefnwyr y pentref yn gosod pwmpenni o gwmpas y maes. En: On the morning of the competition, the village organizers set up pumpkins around the field.
Cy: Mae Eira'n dechrau tynnu lluniau ac yn dod ar draws pwmpen Gwilym. En: Eira starts taking photos and comes across Gwilym's pumpkin.
Cy: Mae'r pwmpen mor fach, mae'n rhaid i bawb gynnau chwerthin. En: The pumpkin is so small that everyone can't help but laugh.
Cy: Eira’n synnu at yr olygfa; mae hi'n tynnu llun heb i Gwilym sylwi pryd hynny. En: Eira is surprised at the scene; she captures a photo without Gwilym noticing at the time.
Cy: Ond ei champ amheus yw'r llun sy'n mynd ar-lein i ffocws canolog yn yr erthygl: "Pwmpen Gwylitaf y Flwyddyn!" En: But her mischievous feat is the picture going online as the central focus in the article: "Year's Funniest Pumpkin!"
Cy: Mae Gwilym yn ei weld ac mae'n cael yr opsiwn i guddio'r pwmpen neu chwerthin gyda'r pentref. En: Gwilym sees it and has the choice to hide the pumpkin or laugh along with the village.
Cy: Mae'n ddiweddaraf yn dewis i wneud yr olaf, gan benderfynu chwerthin ei hun. En: He ultimately chooses the latter, deciding to laugh at himself.
Cy: Pan ddaw’n amser y gystadleuaeth, mae Gwilym yn cerdded i mewn gyda'i bwmpen bychan. En: When the time
