In a pentagon $\Pi$ in the plane, $M_1,...M_5$ are the midpoints of the consecutive sides. $Z_i$ is the centroid of the triangle $M_{i} M_{i+1} M_{i+3}$, where $i=1,2...5$ and it is understood that $M_{j\cdot 5}=M_j$ Given pentagon $Z_{1}Z_{2}Z_{3}Z_{4}Z_{5}$, determine the original pentagon $\Pi$.
