I am getting this error

postgres=# \i a.sql
psql:a.sql:10: ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "return" at character
26


--
a.sql
--
create function loadme() return text as '
Declare
   s_out text ;
Begin
  For i in 1..10000 loop
    insert into test values (i,''Test'');
  end loop;
return s_out;
End;
' language 'plpgsql';

Any help is appreciated

Thx
Deep

PS: I already loaded pl/pgsql in my database
