Dyma lle mae'r Prifysgol yn cyfarfod gyda'i cadarn.
Mae'r Prifysgol, wrth gwrs, sydd â'r ceir mwyaf yn ei ffwrdd, ac yn syth gyda hwn, yw lle mae'r Prifysgol yn sefydlu.
ac yna ddwy siarad ar, ond un siarad i'r llawr o'r Prif Weinidog ac un siarad i'r ddeall.
Mae pob un yn cael eu un siarad?
Ie, ac pan fyddant yn gadael, maen nhw'n cael eu siarad ariannol.
Yr un peth yw, mae'n rhaid iddyn nhw bwydo siarad ar gyfer y bobl sy'n dod yma.
O, felly nid yw'n ariannol?
Nid, mae'n ymlaen yn y siarad, wrth gwrs.
Gallwch ddweud pa un yw'r Prif Weinidog, mae'r un i'r ddeall.
Y Prif Weinidog, mae ganddo tri flaen yno.
A dwi'n meddwl bod Richard yn y llall ar y llall arall.
A ble mae'r un o'r California?
O, pa un oedd hynny?
O. Gwyn?
O. Dwi'n cofio'r enw.
Dwi'n gallu clywed.
Dwi'n gallu clywed amdanyn nhw.
Dwi'n gallu cadw'r llall.
Dwi'n gallu.
Ond dyma ble mae'r Prif Weinidog yn cymryd yr hyn sy'n ei gynnal.
Ac yna, dyna'r... Yna, dyna'r... Yna, dyna'r... Yna, dyna'r... Yna, dyna'r... Yna, dyna'r... Yna, dyna'r...
Mae'n bwysig i'r Prif Weinidog ddod o hyd i'r lluniau o'r tri ddyn y mae wedi'u chwarae, ac felly fe wnaethon nhw ddysgu Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, a Mr. Eisenhower.
Diolch yn fawr.
Mae hynny'n rhaid i chi ddweud.
