Overflow hidden not working as expected on inline items

I am trying to hide items that are wider than parent's width. Here's a codepen URL: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/zMEbrY . As you can see, the children break on new lines while I want them to stay on same line.



.a {
width: 21px;
overflow: hidden;
}

.b, .c {
display: inline;
}

.b {

}

.c {

}

Use white-space:






.a {
width: 21px;
overflow: hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
}

.b, .c {
display: inline;
}

<div class="a">
<div class="b">500</div>
<div class="c">501</div>
</div>

      Use white-space:nowrap this will cut all the overflowing elements out of its jurisdiction






      .a {
      width: 21px;
      overflow: hidden;
      white-space: nowrap;
      }

      .b, .c {
      display: inline;
      }

      .b {

      }

      .c {

      }

      <div class="a">
      <div class="b">500</div>
      <div class="c">501</div>
