George the Brave

Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description

Mae George y Wombat yn teithio ymhell o'i wâl i ganol coedwig dywyll, lle mae'n cyfarfod â llwynog cyfrwys. Mae'r llwynog yn teimlo y bydd George yn gwneud pryd o fwyd blasus i ginio, ond mae George yn rhy ofnus i symud! Tybed a fydd George yn ddigon gwrol i ddangos ei ddewrder ac i ddianc o'r perygl trwy ddefnyddio'r dacteg na ŵyr neb ond wombat amdano?
