Two parallel lines $a$ and $b$ meet two other lines $c$ and $d$. Let $A$ and $A'$ be the points of intersection of $a$ with $c$ and $d$, respectively. Let $B$ and $B'$ be the points of intersection of $b$ with $c$ and $d$, respectively. If $X$ is the midpoint of the line segment $A A'$ and $Y$ is the midpoint of the segment $BB'$, prove that $$|XY| \le \frac{|AB|+|A'B'|}{2}.$$

Two turtles, the leader and the slave, are crawling along the plane from point $A$ to point $B$. They crawl in turn: first the leader crawls some distance, then the slave crawls some distance in a straight line towards the leading one. Then the leader crawls somewhere again, after which the slave crawls towards the leader, etc. Finally, they both crawl to $B$. Prove that the slave turtle crawled no more than the leading one.
