I advocate a simpler (and pe'i more useful) place structure 
for {sisku}: "x1 seeks/searches for x2 in/among x3", so 
that would look like:

{pe'u patfu ko sisku lo pacycrida le cnita be le ckana be fi mi}

I see some difference between "try to find a monster there"
and "check that there isn't any monster there" though. 
Doesn't the {ko sisku} version suggest that the kid wants
him to find one?
