Final answer:
The question lacks context, but based on the provided excerpt from 'The Tsow Yu,' one could tentatively assume that Tobias might have thought there were five hogs; however, this is speculative without direct textual confirmation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The excerpt provided does not supply sufficient context to clearly determine the exact number of hogs Tobias thought there were. This is an example of a question that is tied to a specific text, likely a novel or a poem, and without that text or additional context, it would be speculative to provide an answer. However, based on the second excerpt from 'The Tsow Yu,' which depicts a scenario of hunting where 'one round he shoots, five wild hogs die,' one could interpret that Tobias might have thought there were five wild hogs, corresponding to the number mentioned in the excerpt. Nevertheless, this is a tentative answer and would require confirmation against the direct text that references Tobias's thoughts regarding the number of hogs.
