One afternoon, a man rides up to the US-Mexico border on his bicycle carrying a large bag. The guard stops him and asks, “What’s in the bag?” “Sand,” replies the man. “We’ll see about that,” says the guard. He opens the bag, empties it out, and finds nothing but sand. The guard lets the man cross the border. The next day, the same thing happens. This sequence of events (repeats / is repeated) daily for three years until, finally the man doesn’t show up. A week later, the guard runs into him in a bar in Mexico. “Hey, buddy,” says the guard. “I know you were smuggling something. Just between you and me, what was it?” The man says, “Bicycles.”

Hello, teachers.
Which is correct in the parentheses? I think both are correct. Am I right? If so, which one do you prefer?
Thank you. (This is not homework.)

Please provide the title and author of the source book. As I said in your other thread, the information you have given isn't sufficient. We shouldn't have to go and search for the ISBN to find the information.
