Beth ydych chi'n chwilio amdano heddiw?" gwaeddodd hi, ei llais yn cael ei glywed dros sŵn y môr.En: "Good afternoon! What are you looking for today?" she shouted, her voice audible over the sound of the sea.Cy: Aeron, ychydig yn ansicr, eglurodd ei broses feddyliol, "Dwi am ddod o hyd i gofrodd sy’n cynrychioli’r lle yma.En: Feeling a bit uncertain, Aeron explained his thought process, "I want to find a souvenir that represents this place.Cy: Fodd bynnag, dwi ddim yn gwybod ble i ddechrau."En: However, I don't know where to start."Cy: Dywedodd Carys yn brydferth, "Mae gan bob eitem yma stori.En: Carys said beautifully, "Every item here has a story.Cy: Mae’r dysglau hyn wedi’u gwneud gan grefftwyr o Gymru, ac edrychwch ar y tecstiliau, gweithio traddodiadol yw hynny.En: These dishes were made by Welsh craftsmen, and look at the textiles, that's traditional work.Cy: Ond efallai hoffech chi weld hyn."En: But perhaps you'd like to see this."Cy: Dangosodd Carys wrthrych pren hardd gyda llafnod Cymreig wedi ei gerfio ynddo.En: Carys showed a beautiful wooden object with a carved Welsh motif.Cy: "Mae hwn wedi'i wneud gan ddefnyddio technegau hen Gymru," esboniodd hi.En: "This is made using old Welsh techniques," she explained.Cy: Roedd Aeron yn swyno.En: Aeron was captivated.Cy: Roedd y cyfan yn dod yn glir.En: It all became clear.Cy: Nid y gwrthrych yn unig ond y celfyddyd, yr amser, a’r ystyr sydd wedi'i fewnosod ynddo oedd yr hyn a'i hatynodd.En: It wasn't just the object but the artistry, time, and meaning embedded within it that drew him.Cy: Yn y peth bach hwnnw, roedd modd gweld trawsnewid hanes a thraddodiad Llandudno.En: In that small piece, one could see the transformation of history and tradition of Llandudno.Cy: Ar ddiwedd y dydd, roedd Aeron yn cerdded i ffwrdd o’r pier gyda theimlad o foddhad mawr.En: By the end of the day, Aeron walked away from the pier with a great sense of satisfaction.Cy: Roedd wedi dewis wrthrych a oedd yn llawer mwy na dim ond cofrodd; roedd yn wers am ddiwylliant, crefft a chysylltiad â thu hwnt i amser.En: He had chosen an object that was much more than just a souvenir; it was a lesson in culture, craft, and a connection beyond time.Cy: Roedd Aeron wedi dysgu gwerthfawrogi stori y tu ôl i’r ddalen syml honno, a phob refram roedd Llandudno yn dod yn fyw yn ei galon.En: Aeron had learned to appreciate the story behind that simple piece, and every step brought Llandudno alive in his heart.
