file merging

Question

okay what i want to know to do is this, if i have 2 text files one that say looked like this:
qwert
asdfg
zxcvb

and another that looked like this:
hi
jo
john

connor

how could i merge it so it ended up looking like this :

qwerthi

qwertjo

qwertjohn

qwertconnor

asdfghi

asdfgjo

asdfgjohn

asdfgconnor

zxcvbhi

zxcvbjo

zxcvbjohn

zxcvbconnor

 

its a bit of a weird ask, and i would have done it myself, but im not sure where to start, thank you in advance.

(note there isn't any surrounding code, it will just this single task by itself)
