You normally only clock a single task at a time.  Since you work on Task
A and then clock in Task B, Task A stops.

If you want to accumulate clocked time you need to have a parent task to
show the total time

* Parent Task
** Task One
** Task Two

If you clock time on the subtasks C-c C-x C-d will show the total time
spent on each task and sum the subtask times to the parent task.
