Get the value of the file in path

I have file NUMBER with value 20131010.
The Path to the file is /Users/files/NUMBER.
I need to get value of the file through path.
I tried to use
Code:
echo ${/Users/files/NUMBER}
echo ${"/Users/files/NUMBER"}

But It does not work. Any Ideas?

NAME
colortest-python - Display color test chart and convert between color values SYNOPSIS
colortest-python DESCRIPTION
Displays 256, 88 and 16 color tables depending on what the terminal supports. Also provides for conversion between 256 and 88 color values. The program automatically detects 8, 16, 88, 256 color capabilities (via ncurses) and displays the appropriate color charts. Program can display the colors as blocks or 2d cubes optionally with color values overlaid in int or hex values, it can show the full rgb text string and show the display with a vertical (default) or horizontal orientation. In addition to the color charts it can also convert between 256 and 88 color values. This can be useful when converting various terminals like between urxvt and xterm-256. The goal of this program was to provide the functionality of all the various Perl and sh scripts in one place with some bells and whistles. OPTIONS
-b, --block Display as block format (vs cube) [default]. -c, --cube-slice Display as cube slices (vs block). -e NUMBER, --88to256=NUMBER Convert (expand) 88 color value NUMBER to an 256 color value. -h, --help Display sort help. -n, --numbers Include color escape numbers on chart. -l, --rgb Long format.
