MySQL Stored Procedure with Multiple Select statements From Different Tables

Question

I'm trying to do multiple selects from different tables in a mysql stored procedure as follows

DELIMITER //  
CREATE PROCEDURE `NovemberSummary`(IN `branch` VARCHAR(60), IN `year` INT) NOT 
DETERMINISTIC CONTAINS SQL SQL SECURITY DEFINER 
BEGIN
select sum(sales.amount) as Sales from sales where month (sales.date)= 11 and 
sales.branch = branch;
select sum(expenses.amount) as Expenses from expenses where month(expenses.date)= 11
and expenses.branch = branch;
END

But It returns only The first Select, as In result set only contains Sales Column.

MySQL Version is 5.6.11 - MySQL Community Server

Try this approach:

DELIMITER //  
CREATE PROCEDURE `NovemberSummary`(IN `branch` VARCHAR(60), IN `year` INT) NOT 
DETERMINISTIC CONTAINS SQL SQL SECURITY DEFINER 
BEGIN
SELECT 
   ( select sum(sales.amount) from sales 
     where month (sales.date)= 11 and sales.branch = branch ) as Sales ,
   ( select sum(expenses.amount) from expenses 
     where month(expenses.date)= 11 and expenses.branch = branch ) as Expenses 
   ;
END

this procedure returns only one resultset that contains two columns: Sales + Expenses:

+-------+----------+
| Sales | Expenses |
+-------+----------+
|    20 |       15 |
+-------+----------+

, instead of two resultsets with only one column.

+-------+
| Sales |
+-------+
|    20 |
+-------+

+----------+
| Expenses |
+----------+
|       15 |
+----------+
