The Hare and the Tortoise – Yr Ysgyfarnog a’r Crwban
A hare was making fun of a tortoise for being very slow.
The hare said, “Ha Ha, Mr. Tortoise. Look how slow you are and look at how fast I am. You must be so ashamed. Ha Ha.”
The tortoise ignored the Hare and was walking slowly.
The rabbit continued, “Do you even get anywhere when you walk so slowly? Ha Ha.”
TranslateRoedd ysgyfarnog yn gwneud hwyl am ben crwban am fod yn araf iawn.
Dywedodd yr ysgyfarnog, “Ha Ha, Mr.Crwban. Edrychwch pa mor araf ydych chi ac edrychwch pa mor gyflym ydw i. Rhaid bod gennych chi gymaint o gywilydd. Ha Ha. ”
Anwybyddodd y crwban yr Ysgyfarnog wrth gerdded yn araf.
Parhaodd yr ysgyfarnog, “Ydych chi yn cyrraedd unrhyw le pan fyddwch chi’n cerdded mor araf? Ha Ha. ”
The tortoise looked at the hare angrily and said, “Yes. I can get there faster than you can. I will race you and let us see who the winner is.”
The Hare laughed loudly. “Are you challenging me to a race? You are going to lose so badly! Fine. Let Mr. Fox judge the race and let’s begin.”
TranslateEdrychodd y crwban ar yr ysgyfarnog yn ddig a dweud, “Ydw. Gallaf gyrraedd yno’n gyflymach nag y gallwch. Byddaf yn eich rasio a chawn weld pwy yw’r enillydd. ”
Chwarddodd yr Ysgyfarnog yn uchel. “Ydych chi’n fy herio i ras? Rydych chi’n mynd i golli! Iawn. Gadewch i Mr Llwynog farnu’r ras a gadewch inni ddechrau. ”
The rules were simple. The two had to run across the fields and the meadows until the old oak tree and then back.
The Hare ran at his full speed and soon was so far ahead that he could not see the tortoise. He was so arrogant that he thought, “Let me sleep for some time just to prove how ridiculous it was for the tortoise to challenge me”.
TranslateRoedd y rheolau yn syml. Roedd yn rhaid i’r ddau redeg ar draws y caeau a’r dolydd at yr hen goeden dderw ac yna yn ôl.
Rhedodd yr Ysgyfarnog ar ei gyflymder llawn a chyn bo hir roedd mor bell o’i flaen fel na allai weld y crwban. Roedd mor drahaus nes iddo feddwl, “Gadewch imi gysgu am beth amser dim ond er mwyn profi pa mor hurt oedd hi i’r crwban fy herio”.
He lied down in the grass and slept. The Tortoise meanwhile slowly walked and crossed the place where the Hare was fast asleep. When the Hare woke up, it was already too late. The Tortoise was already at the finish line.
The Hare ran as swiftly as he could but the tortoise had already won the race.
TranslateGorweddodd yn y gwair a chysgu. Yn y cyfamser, cerddodd y Crwban yn araf a chroesi’r man lle’r oedd yr Ysgyfarnog yn cysgu’n drwm. Pan ddeffrodd yr Ysgyfarnog, roedd hi eisoes yn rhy hwyr. Roedd y Crwban eisoes ar y llinell derfyn.
Rhedodd yr Ysgyfarnog mor gyflym ag y gallai ond roedd y crwban eisoes wedi ennill y ras.
Moral: “Slow and steady wins the race.”
TranslateGwers: “Araf a chyson sy’n ennill y ras.”
