Triangle $ABC$ is given in a plane. Draw the bisectors of all three of its angles. Then draw the line that connects the points where the bisectors of angles $ABC$ and $ACB$ meet the opposite sides of the triangle. Through the point of intersection of this line and the bisector of angle $BAC$, draw another line parallel to $BC$. Let this line intersect $AB$ in $M$ and $AC$ in $N$. Prove that $2MN = BM+CN$.
