I'm not going to post working code and do your homework for you, but
here are hints you may find useful.

Hint 1:

declare
   S : String (1 .. 20);
   Last : Natural;
begin
   Ada.Text_IO.Get_Line (S, Last); -- User's input is S (S'First .. Last)
end;

Hint 2: if Last = S'Last, then you will want to call
Ada.Text_IO.Get_Line again to read the rest of the input, and
concatenate this to S.

Hint 3: recursive calls are your friends.
