The Serpent and the Eagle – Y Sarff a’r Eryr
Once upon a time, there was serpent. The serpent saw an eagle which was resting in the trees. The serpent wrapped itself around the neck of the eagle.
The Eagle could not reach the serpent with its claws or its beak. He flew into the air and tried to throw it off, but the serpent was very strong. The serpent began to choke him.
TranslateUnwaith, roedd sarff. Gwelodd y sarff eryr a oedd yn gorffwys yn y coed. Fe lapiodd y sarff ei hun o amgylch gwddf yr eryr.
Ni allai’r Eryr gyrraedd y sarff gyda’i chrafangau na’i big. Hedfanodd i’r awyr a cheisio ei daflu, ond roedd y sarff yn gryf iawn. Dechreuodd y sarff ei dagu.
The eagle landed near a traveler since it could not breathe. The traveler saw the battle and decided to help the eagle. He pulled the serpent away from the eagle.
The serpent was very angry. He wanted to bite the traveler, but the traveler was very watchful. The serpent bit his water flask. The traveler did not see the snake bite his water flask. The eagle saw the snake bite the flask.
TranslateGlaniodd yr eryr ger teithiwr gan na allai anadlu. Gwelodd y teithiwr y frwydr a phenderfynu helpu’r eryr. Tynnodd y sarff i ffwrdd oddi wrth yr eryr.
Roedd y sarff yn ddig iawn. Roedd eisiau brathu’r teithiwr, ond roedd y teithiwr yn wyliadwrus iawn. Brathodd y sarff ei fflasg ddŵr. Ni welodd y teithiwr y neidr yn brathu ei fflasg ddŵr. Gwelodd yr eryr y neidr yn brathu’r fflasg.
When the traveler was near a stream, he wanted to drink some water. When he was just about to drink, the eagle swooped down and took the flask from his hand. The eagle flew far away and hence saved the travelers life.
TranslatePan oedd y teithiwr ger nant, roedd am yfed rhywfaint o ddŵr. Pan oedd ar fin yfed, fe gwympodd yr eryr i lawr a chymryd y fflasg o’i law. Hedfanodd yr eryr ymhell i ffwrdd ac felly arbedodd fywyd y teithwyr.
Moral: “An act of kindness is well repaid.”
