Where does the headline come from? Where does the text file come
from? How is the relationship determined to start with?

And whatever your reasons for not wanting to "run a db", this sounds
like an excellent case for using a document-oriented store e.g. Redis,
MongoDB, etc.

Alternatively, just serve the whole content and use JS/CSS to toggle
display of the text part.
