How can I prevent the width of the flex div from growing in content?

Question

I'v created a nested div with flex, and I want to follow the rules of flex, grow and shrink, but when the inner text or content becomes long, then the div grows too long. in this script, I marked it with “This is a mistake” , and, as you can see, the text in this div is bigger than the other, and the parent flex div grew as I don't want it. I installed flex: 1 1 auto;, and I do not know where to change. Any recommendations are appreciated.
