As I'm sure your teacher will point out, this is sub-optimal :-)
That for-loop isn't doing anything, because you always return
out of it at the first iteration.

I suspect that you're expected to concatenate the strings
together by hand and return the resulting string once you've
done them all.  Trying writing it that way.

PS: it helps a lot if what you say in the doc string matches
what you write in the rest of the code.  In this case you
call your input string "items", but then say "Join all the
strings in *stringList*..."
