Let $ P$ and $ Q$ be the common points of two circles. The ray with origin $ Q$ reflects from the first circle in points $ A_1$, $ A_2$,$ \ldots$ according to the rule ''the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection''. Another ray with origin $ Q$ reflects from the second circle in the points $ B_1$, $ B_2$,$ \ldots$ in the same manner. Points $ A_1$, $ B_1$ and $ P$ occurred to be collinear. Prove that all lines $ A_iB_i$ pass through P.
