Reading json file from folder

Hi

I am having challenges with the code below the error sown is "MainPage.ReadJsonFile(String):not all code parts return value"

//JSON starts here
public string ReadJsonFile(string JsonfilePath)
{

using (StreamReader r = new StreamReader("Dec1.js"))
{

string json = r.ReadToEnd();
dynamic array = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
//... read text from json file

return string text
}

}

//Daily Devotion starts here
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{

AddDevotions();
int index = DateTime.Now.DayOfYear;
textblock.Text = devotions[index];
}

List devotions = new List();
private void AddDevotions()
{
devotions.Add(ReadJsonFile("Assets/Dec1.js"));
devotions.Add(ReadJsonFile("Assets/Dec2.js"));
devotions.Add(ReadJsonFile("Assets/Dec3.js"));
//...for 365 days
}

Try it like this:

public string ReadJsonFile(string JsonfilePath)
{
string text = null;

using (StreamReader r = new StreamReader("Dec1.js"))
{
string json = r.ReadToEnd();
dynamic array = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
//... read text from json file into 'text' variable
}

return text;
}
