Quietly, Hywel crept up to the mermaid. She had very long hair, which she combed as she sang a pretty song. Her name was Modlen. She didn’t notice Hywel at all. "I must take her home," he thought.

Yn dawel iawn, fe ddynesodd Hywel at y forforwyn. Roedd ganddi wallt hir iawn, ac roedd hi’n ei gribo wrth ganu cân dlos. Modlen oedd ei henw. Ni sylwodd ar Hywel o gwbl. "Rhaid imi ei chymryd hi adref," meddyliodd ef.
