Let ABCD be a cyclic quadrilateral whose opposite sides are not parallel, X the intersection of AB and CD, and Y the intersection of AD and BC. Let the angle bisector of ∠AXD intersect AD, BC at E, F respectively and let the angle bisector of ∠AYB intersect AB, CD at G, H respectively. Prove that EGFH is a parallelogram.

Please... someone try to to solve the problem (I am asking junior and secondary level students).
There is a hint about the problem:

Re: cyclic quads to parallelogram
mine is different with points according to the problem.Let the angle bisector of ∠AXD intersect AD, BC at S, Q respectively and let the angle bisector of ∠AYB intersect AB, CD at P, R respectively.
$\angle A=180^O-\angle C=\angle QCX$
$\angle AXS=\angle CXQ=\frac{1}{2}\angle X $
THUS,$\bigtriangleup AXS\sim \bigtriangleup CQX$
$\angle XSA=\angle CQX$
$so,\angle QSD=\angle CQS$
in, $\bigtriangleup YQS,\frac{sin\angle QSY}{sin\angle SQY}=\frac{QY}{SY}$
so,$YQ=YS$
THEN BY ANGLE BI-SECTING THEOREM,$OQ=OS$
again,we can get $XP=XR$ according to above way and will get $OP=OR$
in $PQRS$, $OQ=OS$ and $OP=OR$,we can easily show two oppsite sides parallel and equal by congruent triangles.

Actually the fact that almost kill the problem is to prove $EFGH$ is a rohmbos
