MySql stored procedures: How to select from procedure table?

Let's say we have a stored procedure selecting something from a table:

CREATE PROCEDURE database.getExamples() 
SELECT * FROM examples;

How can I use the result from this procedure in a later select? (I've tried

SELECT * FROM (CALL database.getExamples())

but with no success.) Should I use SELECT... INTO outVariable in the procedure? Or should I use a function returning the table instead?
