En: It was a fine morning at the school gymnasium in Caerdydd. Cy: Roedd taflenni pleidleisio, byrddau, a phob man yn barod i groesawu'r pleidleiswyr. En: Voting slips, tables, and every place were ready to welcome the voters. Cy: Roedd Eira yno, ei gwallt golau disglair fel aur hael hydref, yn gweithio'n brysur fel clerc pleidleisio. En: Eira was there, her bright light hair like the generous gold of autumn, busily working as a voting clerk. Cy: Roedd hi'n gyfrifol am sicrhau bod popeth yn mynd yn llyfn. En: She was responsible for ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Cy: Roedd yn ddiwrnod pwysig i'r gymuned. En: It was an important day for the community. Cy: Wrth i'r diwrnod fynd yn ei flaen a phobl yn dod i mewn i bleidleisio, roedd Eira yn eu harwain gyda gwên siriol a gair caredig. En: As the day went on and people came in to vote, Eira guided them with a cheerful smile and a kind word. Cy: Roedd pawb yn edmygu ei dyfalbarhad a'r ffordd y bu'n sicrhau bod pawb yn cael cyfle teg. En: Everyone admired her persistence and the way she ensured that everyone had a fair chance. Cy: Yna, yn sydyn, rhybuddiodd Gareth, cydweithiwr Eira, am broblem. En: Then, suddenly, Gareth, Eira's colleague, warned of a problem. Cy: "Mae'r peiriannau pleidleisio wedi mynd," meddai mewn llais pryderus. En: "The voting machines have gone," he said in a worried voice. Cy: Roedd hyn yn fygythiad i'w tydy'r broses gyfan o bleidleisio i stop. En: This threatened to bring the whole voting process to a halt. Cy: Roedd Madoc, un o'r pleidleiswyr, wedi clywed hynny. En: Madoc, one of the voters, had heard this. Cy: "Mae angen i ni weithredu'n gyflym," meddai, ei llais yn dangos gofid. En: "We need to act quickly," he said, his voice showing concern. Cy: Roedd pobl yn dechrau symud ymlaen a'r gellid clywed murmur wrth y bwlch pleidleisio. En: People began to move forward, and murmuring could be heard at the voting booth. Cy: "Be' dŷn ni'n mynd i'w neud? En: "What are we going to do?" Cy: " gofynnodd rhywla. En: someone asked. Cy: Ond nid oedd Eira wedi colli ei hyder. En: But Eira hadn't lost her confidence. Cy: Roedd yn gwybod beth i'w wneud. En: She knew what to do. Cy: "Byddwn ni'n defnyddio papur bleidleisio," meddai'n daer. En: "We'll use paper ballots," she said resolutely. Cy: Roedd yn gwybod y gallai hyn gymryd mwy o amser, ond byddai'n well na stopio'r broses yn gyfan gwbl. En: She knew this might take more time, but it would be better than stopping the process entirely. Cy: Gyda chydweithrediad Gareth, darparwyd y papurau pleidleisio yn gyflym i bawb. En: With Gareth's cooperation, the paper ballots were quickly provided to everyone. Cy: Tua'r prynhawn, roedd y pleidleiswyr wedi ymgasglu eto, yn tawelu wrth weld y broses yn symud ymlaen. En: By the afternoon, the voters had gathered again, calming down as they saw the process moving forward. Cy: Roedd y cymuned, fel dail yr hydref, wedi symud gyda'r gwynt, gan gydweithio i wneud yn siŵr bod eu llais yn cael ei glywed. En: The community, like the autumn leaves, had moved with the wind, working together to ensure their voices were heard. Cy: Wrth iddi gweld y broses yn dod i ben, roedd Eira yn teimlo llawenydd a boddhad mawr. En: As she saw the process nearing its end, Eira felt great joy and satisfaction. Cy: Roedd wedi dysgu llawer am ei gallu i ddatrys problemau a gwerth cymuned cydweithredol. En: She had learned a lot about her ability to solve problems and the value of a cooperative community. Cy: Roedd pawb yn canmol ei penderfyniad prydlon a'r ffordd yr arweiniodd drwy argyfwng. En: Everyone praised her prompt decision and the way she led through the crisis. Cy: Ar ôl i bopeth gael ei drefnu, roedd Eira yn edrych ar ei chydweithgor, gan wybod eu bod wedi cyflawni rhywbeth pwysig. En: After everything was organized, Eira looked at her team, knowing that they had achieved something important. Cy: Roedd yn ddiwrnod llawn o gydweithrediad ac unwaith eto, roedd Caerdydd wedi profi bod y gymuned yn gryfach gyda'i gilydd. En: It was a day full of cooperation and once again, Caerdydd had proven that the community is stronger together. Cy: Roedd yn hydref, a dail yn parhau i ddawnsio y tu allan, ond tu mewn roedd gwres ysbryd undod wedi llenwi'r ystafell. En: It was autumn, and leaves continued to dance outside, but inside, the warmth of unity's spirit had filled the room.
