UPDATE:

There was an issue with the way the MS Forms was created. So we have updated the Key below.

Question

!#/bash/bin
echo Please talk to me ...
while 
do
  read INPUT_STRING
  case INPUT_STRING 
        hello) echo "Hello yourself!" ;;
        bye)   echo "See you again!" break ;;
        #)     echo "Sorry, I don't understand" ;
  esac
echo
echo "That's all folks!"

Corrected Script

#!/bin/bash
echo "Please talk to me ..."
while true
do
  read INPUT_STRING
  case $INPUT_STRING 
        hello) echo "Hello yourself!" ;;
        bye)   echo "See you again!" break ;;
        *)     echo "Sorry, I don't understand" ;;
  esac
echo
echo "That's all folks!"
