Then we had better not go _Gwell ynte i ni beidio myned_
far. _yn mhell._

Where does this road lead to? _I ba le mae y ffordd hon yn_
_arwain?_

To a village about two miles _I bentref oddeutu dwy filltir_
off. _oddi yma._

The country air is very healthy. _Y mae awyr y wlad yn bur_
_iachus._

It is, and does one much good. _Ydyw, ac yn gwneud lles_
_mawr i un._

Do you know anything of this _A wyddoch chwi rywbeth am_
neighbourhood? _y gymmydogaeth hon._

Yes, a little. _Gwn, ychydig._

Who lives in that mansion? _Pwy sydd yn byw yn y plas_
_yna?_

An independent gentleman. _Gwr boneddig yn byw ar ei_
_arian._

He is a man of property, I _Y mae yn wr o gyfoeth feddyliwn_

The wind-mill. _Y felin wynt._

I see the spire of a church; I _Yr wyf yn gweled clochdy eglwys,_
suppose this is the village. _hwn yw y pentref debygwn._

It is; and the building on the _Ië; ár adeilad ár yr ochr_

Is the church-yard worth visiting? _A ydyw y fynwent yn werth_
_ymweled a hi?_

Yes; but we cannot stop. _Ydyw, ond nis gallwn aros._

Must we go over that hill on _A raid i ni fyned dros y bryn_

No; we can take the fields _Na raid; gallwn gymmeryd y_

Is there a footpath that way? _A oes llwybr troed y ffordd_
_hono?_

There is, and a very pleasant _Oes, ac un hyfryd iawn hefyd._
one too.

Do we go over this stile? _A ydym yn myned dros y_

_nesaf?_

Wheat, I should think. _Gwenith, mi feddyliwn._

No; but there is a part of it _Nage; ond y mae rhan o hono_
oats. _yn geirch._

Is that a potatoe field beyond _Ai cae cloron yw hwna, tu_

Did you hear the thunder last _A glywsoch chwi y taranau_
night? _neithiwr?_

I did not, but fancied I saw _Naddo; ond tybiais i mi weled_
lightning. _mellt._

It hailed about midnight. _Yr oedd yn bwrw cenllysg tua_
