One of Snow White’s dwarfs very quietly brought in grass (5)

I believe the answer is:

happy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one of snow white's dwarfs very' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'quietly brought in grass' is the wordplay.
'quietly' becomes 'pp' ().
'brought in' is an insertion indicator.
'grass' becomes 'hay' (I have seen 'Mown grass ' mean 'hay' so perhaps 'grass' could also mean 'hay').
'pp' inserted inside 'hay' is 'HAPPY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for happy that I've seen before include "Fortunate; content" , "Delighted" , "Doc's smiling pal" , "Blissful" , "Well-pleased" .)
