In the convex quadrilateral $ABCD, BC$ is parallel to $AD$. Two circular arcs $\omega_1$ and $\omega_3$ pass through $A$ and $B$ and are on the same side of $AB$. Two circular arcs $\omega_2$ and $\omega_4$ pass through $C$ and $D$ and are on the same side of $CD$. The measures of $\omega_1, \omega_2, \omega_3$ and $\omega_4$ are $\alpha, \beta,\beta$ and $\alpha$ respectively. If $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are tangent to each other externally, prove that so are $\omega_3$ and $\omega_4$.
