Consider an isosceles triangle $ABC$ with $AB=AC$. Point $D$ is on the smaller arc $AB$ of its circumcirle. Point $E$ lies on the continuation of segment $AD$ beyond point $D$ so that both $A$ and $E$ lie in the same half-plane relative to $BC$. The circumcirle of triangle $BDE$ intersects side $AB$ at point $F$. Prove that lines $EF$ and $BC$ are parallel. (Author: R. Zhenodarov)
