She tries to follows him and give him

Hi,

She tried to follow him and give him the gift.

The repetition of "him" sounds odd to me.

Is it acceptable?

Is the following version better?

She tried to follow and give him the gift.

Thanks.

I think they both sound acceptable. The use of "him" twice does not sound odd to me in the first example.
