Meddai Rhys.En: "O Carys, will you help me?" said Rhys.Cy: "Dw i angen hufen arbennig iawn, a does gen i ddim amser i'w adael i ffwrdd."En: "I need a very special cream, and I don't have time to let it slip away."Cy: "Wel, mae'n bêr i mi adnabod rhywun," atebodd Carys, ei gwen yn berthi cyffro.En: "Well, I happen to know someone," answered Carys, her smile sparking excitement.Cy: "Gad i ni chwilio!"En: "Let's go search!"Cy: Gyda hynny, aethon nhw i gyd trwy'r strydoedd byrlymus, wedi eu hyrddio gan addewidion Carys.En: With that, they hurried through the bustling streets, propelled by Carys's promises.Cy: Yn y diwedd, ar funud o gwestiwn, roeddent yn cael yr ymyl olaf o berlysiau pwys mawr yn y stand olaf ar ei gau.En: In the end, at the last moment, they found the last edge of the significant herbs at the final stand as it was closing.Cy: Roedd golwg llygaid barrug Rhys yn stopiodd wrth y pris arwydd; roedd yr herb yn ddrud iawn.En: Rhys's frost-eyed gaze stopped at the price tag; the herb was very expensive.Cy: Am foment, daeth Rhys yn ddweud rhwng yr wythnos o addunedau teuluol.En: For a moment, Rhys was caught between the week of family commitments.Cy: "Bydd y gost, Carys?" Meddai, yn peryngau tua hylithig penderfynol.En: "What will the cost be, Carys?" he said, steering towards a determined bargain.Cy: "Coelia dy galon, Rhys," chwarddodd Carys.En: "Trust your heart, Rhys," laughed Carys.Cy: "Mae teulu'n fwy na phrisau."En: "Family is more than prices."Cy: Peidiodd Rhys, ei freichiau'n cosi wrth wneud ei benderfyniad.En: Rhys paused, his arms itching as he made his decision.Cy: Symudodd ei law at ei boced, talodd, a gynnodd y perlys.En: He moved his hand to his pocket, paid, and pocketed the herb.Cy: Wedi hynny, diflannodd y synan ac ymlaciodd.En: After that, the tension vanished, and he relaxed.Cy: Nes ymlaen, wrth i'r haul syrthio dros y bryniau a'r gynffonau, roedd Rhys yn gwybod mai nid y rysáit yn unig oedd wedi ei gadw.En: Later on, as the sun fell over the hills and the tails, Rhys knew that it was not just the recipe that he had preserved.Cy: Roedd cymuned a chysylltiad yn wir ddechrau traddodiad.En: It was community and connection that were the true beginning of tradition.Cy: Yn ôl at ei gartref, roedd y berlys bron yn barod, a chlywodd feddyliau'i nain yn hollol glir trwy blentyn y llais y teulu.En: Back at his home, the herb was almost ready, and he heard his grandmother's thoughts perfectly clear through the child's voice of the family.Cy: Ar y diwrnod hwnnw, daeth Rhys i ddeall, bod perthynas a chompromis yn gryfach na thraddodiadau yn unig.En: On that day, Rhys came to understand that relationships and compromise were stronger than traditions alone.
