cat a file located in files directory in Ansible

This is my structure of role:

$ tree my_role  .  ├── my_role  │   ├── defaults  │   │   └── main.yml  │   ├── files  │   │   └── foo.conf  │   ├── handlers  │   │   └── main.yml  │   ├── meta  │   │   └── main.yml  │   ├── README.md  │   ├── tasks  │   │   └── main.yml  │   ├── templates  │   ├── tests  │   │   ├── inventory  │   │   └── test.yml  │   └── vars  │       └── main.yml  └── playbook.yml  

I would like to cat the file foo.conf located in files folder in tasks/main.yml.

I tried to use directly in tasks.yml by providing relevant path, however, it says the file is not found.
