Bolek draw a trapezoid $ABCD$ trapezoid ($AB // CD$) on the board, with its midsegment line $EF$ in it. Point intersection of his diagonal $AC, BD$ denote by $P,$ and his rectangular projection on line $AB$ denote by $Q$. Lolek, wanting to tease Bolek, blotted from the board everything except segments $EF$ and $PQ$. When Bolek saw it, wanted to complete the drawing and draw the original trapezoid, but did not know how to do it. Can you help Bolek?

Two not necessarily equal non-intersecting wooden disks, one gray and one black, are glued to a plane. An infinite angle with one gray side and one black side can be moved along the plane so that the disks remain outside the angle, while the colored sides of the angle are tangent to the disks of the same color (the tangency points are not the vertices). Prove that it is possible to draw a ray in the angle, starting from the vertex of the angle and such that no matter how the angle is positioned, the ray passes through some fixed point of the plane.
