Roedd yn gweithio gyda'r gour.Sheep Ista," cyhoeddodd, ei wyneb yn llawn o gampwri.En: "Yes, and of course, Gandalf used to be a servant of the castle. He worked with the gour.Sheep Ista," he proclaimed, his face full of mischief.Cy: Roedd y twristiaid yn edrych ar ei gilydd, yn pendroni am y gwirionedd.En: The tourists looked at each other, wondering about the truth.Cy: Ond roedd eu diciau yn awgrymu eu bod nhw'n mwynhau'r stori.En: But their smiles suggested they were enjoying the story.Cy: Un twristiaidd a gododd ei law.En: One tourist raised his hand.Cy: "Beth am y clwb tenis tanddaearol?" gofynnodd.En: "What about the underground tennis club?" he asked.Cy: "Mae'n wir!" atebodd Gareth heb flincio.En: "It's true!" answered Gareth without blinking.Cy: "Mae'n un o'r clwbiau tenis mwyaf enwog yn Ewrop. Fe'i sefydlwyd gan y Tuduriaid i gadw'n gynnes yn ystod y gaeaf. Ac maen nhw'n dal i drefnu cystadlaethau rheolaidd."En: "It is one of the most famous tennis clubs in Europe. It was established by the Tudors to stay warm during the winter. And they still organize regular tournaments."Cy: Yn fuan, roedd y tywysydd go iawn yn ymddangos, ei wyneb yn dywyll a'i lais yn ddig.En: Soon, the real tour guide appeared, his face dark and his voice angry.Cy: "Dyma gwrs anniben o hanes! Mae'n wallgof rhith-weledol!" meddai, ond roedd Gareth a Cerys yn rhy bell i gael eu hatal.En: "This is a chaotic course of history! It's virtual madness!" he said, but Gareth and Cerys were too far to be stopped.Cy: Wrth gyrraedd y diwedd o'r daith, aeth un o'r twristiaid i chwerthin, methu aros rhag y rhwystr o ddigrifwch.En: Upon reaching the end of the tour, one of the tourists burst into laughter, unable to hold back the wave of humor.Cy: "Mae hynny byth yn digwydd ar deithiau arferol," meddai gyda chyfrinach gynnes o lawenydd.En: "That never happens on regular tours," he said with a warm hint of joy.Cy: Roedd y gynulleidfa yn ysgwyd dwylo Gareth a Cerys, a chawsant eu clodiodd am eu stori ffug.En: The audience shook hands with Gareth and Cerys, lauding them for their fictional tale.Cy: Wrth adael y castell, roedd y tywysydd yn crynu ei ben, ond ddim ond allan o lanzynod.En: As they left the castle, the tour guide shook his head, but only in disbelief.Cy: "Da chi," meddai. "Ond peidiwch â gwneud o eto, os gwelwch yn dda."En: "Well done," he said.
