have you tried using a simple cat command in your script....!!!!

Code:
If the test1.txt and test2.txt are the only .txt files in the directory:

ls *\.txt |while read filename
do
    echo "${filename}"
    cat "${filename}"
done


Code:
If you only want to look at test1.txt and test2.txt:

for filename in "test1.txt" "test2.txt"
do
    echo "${filename}"
    cat "${filename}"
done
